Almost two weeks after the Santa Fe D.A. revealed that Alec Baldwin & armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed will face criminal claims over the October 2021 shooting of ‘Rust’ cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, charges against the duo will be formally filed tomorrow
of the charges against the multiple Emmy winner and Gutierrez-Reed, and the plea deal struck by Rust first Assistant Director David Halls, the official placement of the paperwork in the Land of Enchantment court dockets will kick-off a process that will likely see Baldwin and the crew member facing trial later this year.
Heading to what is sure to be a media circus, Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed are each to be charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter in Hutchins’ death. Both could be facing a significant stint behind bars if found guilty. Under New Mexico law, the first charge is a fourth-degree felony with sentencing of up to 18 months in jail and a $5,000 fine. The second charge, which is formally an involuntary manslaughter in the commission of a lawful act charge, is also a fourth-degree felony punishable by up to 18 months in jail and up to a $5000 fine. However, the second charge additionally carries a firearm enhancement.
Neither lawyers for Baldwin nor Gutierrez-Reed responded to request for comment from Deadline on today’s news. If and when they do, we will update this post.
