Alec Baldwin filed a cross-complaint on Friday that puts the blame of Halyna Hutchins' death on three crew members and the ammunition supplier for the 'Rust' set.
filed a cross-complaint on Friday and is looking to"clear his name" after the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of"Rust" last October.
Baldwin's lawsuit alleges negligence by armorer Hannah Guttierez-Reed; prop master Sarah Zachry; first assistant director and safety coordinator David Halls, who handed Baldwin the gun; ammunition supplier Seth Kenney and his company, PDQ Arm & Prop, which also supplied prop weapons for the production.Baldwin named those four individuals as cross-defendants in a suit filed against him last year.
"Though by no means comparable, Baldwin must live with the immense grief, and the resulting emotional, physical, and financial toll, caused by the fact that Cross-Defendants’ negligent conduct, assurances, and supervision put a loaded weapon in his hand and led him, Hutchins, and everyone else on set to believe that his directed use of the weapon was safe," the suit went on to say.
"More than anyone else on that set, Baldwin has been wrongfully viewed as the perpetrator of this tragedy. By these Cross-Claims, Baldwin seeks to clear his name and hold Cross-Defendants accountable for their misconduct."
