Baldwin has claimed the gun fired accidentally after he followed instructions to point it toward Hutchins, who was behind the camera.
Actor Alec Baldwin reacts after the judge threw out the involuntary manslaughter case for the 2021 fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during filming of the Western movie " Rust ," Friday, July 12, 2024, at Santa Fe County District Court in Santa Fe, N.M. against Alec Baldwin , dismissing it in the middle of the actor's trial and saying it cannot be filed again.
The decision ends the criminal culpability of the 66-year-old Baldwin after a nearly three-year saga that began when a revolver he was pointing at Hutchins during a rehearsal went off, killing her and wounding director Joel Souza. The man who supplied ammunition was a close friend of Gutierrez-Reed's father, movie armorer Thell Reed. Special prosecutor Kari Morrissey argued that the move from the men was part of an attempt by Reed to shift blame away from his daughter.
