‘Rust’ assistant director David Halls pleaded no-contest to a negligence charge related to the on-set death of beloved cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
‘Rust’ assistant director David Halls was sentenced to six months probation Friday for failing to check for live bullets before handing Alec Baldwin the gun with which he fatally shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
The October 2021 on-set tragedy unfolded when a live bullet was accidentally loaded into a pistol and fired by Baldwin during a scene rehearsal at a Santa Fe church, striking and killing Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza. She continued, “Mr. Halls does not handle firearms. His job is not to handle firearms. He does not like firearms.”
Halls pleaded no-contest to petty misdemeanor negligent use of a deadly weapon. As part of the plea, he agreed to take a firearms safety course within 60 days, pay a $500 fine and to not possess or consume alcohol or drugs without a prescription.
