Prosecutors planned to file felony charges of involuntary manslaughter Tuesday in the deadly shooting of a cinematographer by actor Alec Baldwin during a rehearsal on the set of a Western movie in 2021.
Heather Brewer, a spokeswoman for the district attorney's office, said in a statement Monday that prosecutors are “fully focused on securing justice for Halyna Hutchins” and"the evidence and the facts speak for themselves.”
In his lawsuit, Baldwin said that while working on camera angles with Hutchins, he pointed the gun in her direction and pulled back and released the hammer of the weapon, which discharged. Defense attorney Jason Bowles, who represents Gutierrez-Reed, said the charges are the result of a “flawed investigation” and an “inaccurate understanding of the full facts.”
