Prosecutors have yet to offer any evidence that would solve the biggest mystery in the deadly shooting of a cinematographer by Alec Baldwin on a film set in 2021: How did live rounds get on the set. alecbaldwin kprc2 click2hou
FILE - This aerial photo shows the movie set of"Rust," at Bonanza Creek Ranch, Oct. 23, 2021, in Santa Fe, N.M. Prosecutors are accusing the weapons supervisor on the film set where Alec Baldwin shot and killed a cinematographer of drinking and smoking marijuana in the evenings during the filming of Rust, saying she was likely hung over when she loaded a live bullet into the revolver that was used by the actor.
Several lawyers who are not involved with the case but have been watching it closely said Wednesday that prosecution statements in response to a defenseseeking to dismiss her involuntary manslaughter charge are vague and would be difficult to prove. John Day, a Santa Fe-based criminal defense attorney, noted that prosecutors did not say in the filing that Gutierrez-Reed was impaired but rather used the colloquial term “hungover,” which could mean many things.
In their filing, the prosecutors said they expected to decide within the next 60 days whether to recharge Baldwin, depending on the results of an analysis of the gun. Ted Spaulding, an Atlanta attorney who also is not involved in the case, said that while it would be easier to argue that active impairment leads to negligence, prosecutors can still argue that alcohol and drug use — and being hungover — likely lead to negligence.
