” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, and said that blame for the tragedy lies with three crew members and with the man who supplied ammunition to the set.by Mamie Mitchell, the film’s script supervisor. Baldwin said he relied on all four to do their jobs, and that Hutchins died as a result of their negligence.
Baldwin was holding a Colt .45 revolver when it went off during preparation for a scene near Santa Fe, N.M., on Oct. 21, 2021. He has said that he pulled the hammer back, though not far enough to cock it, and then released it — causing the gun to fire. He has said he did not pull the trigger. The cross-complaint amounts to a lengthy and detailed exoneration of Baldwin prepared by his civil attorneys, complete with text messages and photos from the Sheriff’s investigation.
The cross-complaint also faults Sarah Zachry, the propmaster, for failing to adequately supervise Gutierrez Reed and failing to maintain a safe set. Further, Baldwin accuses Seth Kenney, the supplier, of showing a “cavalier disregard for proper separation between live and dummy ammunition.”
