On April 15, a judge sentenced the 26-year-old to 18 months at a New Mexico Correctional Facility, noting that her"reckless" actions on set led directly to Hutchins' death. In a statement to ET, Gloria Allred and John Carpenter, the attorneys representing Hutchins' parents, Olga Solovey and Anatolli Androsovych, and sister, Svetlana Zemkoand, reacted to the verdict in a statement to ET.
Baldwin's not guilty plea came 12 days after special prosecutors Kari T. Morrissey and Jason Lewis announced that the 65-year-old faces up to 18 months in prison, if convicted of the fourth-degree felony. The special prosecutors had said back in October 2023 that they intended to present their case to a grand jury to determine if probable cause existed to criminally charge the actor over the film's cinematographer's death on Oct. 21, 2021.
As for allegations she consumed alcohol and smoked marijuana during filming of the Western, prosecutors alleged in court documents, obtained by ET, that she likely was hungover when she loaded the prop gun with a"live bullet.
Producers of the film disputed Luper's claims to ABC News, calling them"patently false," and noting that"he had absolutely nothing to do with, or knowledge of, safety protocols" on the set.production team to the cast and crew of the film, noting that they"have made the decision to wrap the set at least until the investigations are complete."
The complaints leveled against Halls accused him of unsafe practices, a disregard for safety protocols with regard to firearms used during filming, and inappropriate behavior toward crew members. The complaints stemmed from his work on two episodes of the Hulu anthology horror series . The film's production company, Rocket Soul Studios, released a statement to ET regarding his termination from the project.
"Don't bring guns on the set that you can put bullets into. Don't have live ammo on the set," Wolf said. "And most importantly don't point a gun at someone that doesn't pose a threat to you.", Gutierrez-Reed's attorneys, Jason Bowles and Robert Gorence, extended her deepest and most sincere condolences to Hutchins' family and friends.
"I'm not allowed to make any comments because it's an ongoing investigation. I've been ordered by the Sheriff's Department in Santa Fe. I can't answer any questions about the investigation. I can't," he said."It's an active investigation in terms of a woman died." of screenshots of a note from Terese Magpale Davis, who was working in the costume department on the set of the Western. In the thread, Davis discounted rumors that the cast and crew of "I'm so sick of this narrative," Davis began."I worked on this movie. The story being spun of us being overworked and surrounded by unsafe, chaotic conditions is bulls**t.
Furthermore, Baldwin, who was also one of the film's six producers,"did not know and had no reason to know any of these facts," the suit reads.On Jan. 19, 2023, the New Mexico First Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies and special prosecutor Andrea Reeb announced in a statement that the actor and armorer were charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter.
"We want to thank the Santa Fe Sheriff and the District Attorney for concluding their thorough investigation and determining that charges for involuntary manslaughter are warranted for the killing of Halyna Hutchins with conscious disregard for human life," Brian J. Panish, founding partner of Panish-Shea-Boyle -Ravipudi LLP, said. "Our independent investigation also supports charges are warranted. It is a comfort to the family that, in New Mexico, no one is above the law.
According to court docs, obtained by ET, the 65-year-old actor waived his right to appear on Feb. 24, 2023 before First Judicial District court Judge Mary Sommer in Santa Fe County, New Mexico, and have his rights explained to him by the judge. Baldwin instead opted to enter his plea through his attorney, Luke Nikas.
She added,"Our top priority has always been resuming production and completing this film so we can honor the life and work of Halyna Hutchins. Settling this case rather than litigating is how we can best move forward to achieve that goal."after pleading no contest in New Mexico court. Halls appeared virtually in court, where he officially entered his no contest plea to negligent/unsafe handling of a firearm that led to Hutchins' death. Halls had previously signed a plea agreement.
"Over the last few days and in preparation for the May 3, 2023, preliminary hearing, new facts were revealed that demand further investigation and forensic analysis in the case against Alexander 'Alec' Rae Baldwin, III," the statement read."Consequently, we cannot proceed under the current time constraints and on the facts and evidence turned over by law enforcement in its existing form. We therefore will be dismissing the involuntary manslaughter charges against Mr.
The details of the settlement, as well as documents and materials related to the settlement, were sealed and are not available to the public. Bowles, Gutierrez-Reed's attorney tells ET,"Something is rotten in Denmark. It is shocking that after 20 months of investigation, the special prosecutor now throws in a completely new charge against Ms. Gutierrez-Reed, with no prior notice or any witness statements, lab reports, or evidence to support it. This comes on the heels of the state letting its lead investigator go, and the investigator raising serious concerns about the investigation in an email.
Furthermore, District Court Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer said Gutierrez-Reed's trial would begin on Dec. 6, 2023 with jury selection beginning the day prior.Special prosecutors Kari T. Morrissey and Jason J. Lewis announced on Oct. 17, 2023 that they intend to present to a Santa Fe grand jury the Oct. 21, 2021 shooting incident involving Baldwin during the filming of"After extensive investigation over the past several months, additional facts have come to light that we believe show Mr.
"To the extent that the charges filed on January 19 are based on an accusation of negligent use of a firearm predicated on this or any actor having a duty to inspect a firearm as part of its use, that is an incorrect assessment of the actual duties of an actor on set," SAG-AFTRA expressed in their statement.
