Halyna Hutchins, a rising cinematographer who was killed on the set of the movie Rust. Now, after months of investigation and deliberation, New Mexico prosecutors have decided to bring criminal charges against Alec Baldwin and other members of the film crew.
Baldwin is facing two counts of involuntary manslaughter, while an armorer and an assistant director have also been charged in the death. Baldwin’s attorney insists that he did not pull the trigger, and that he had no reason to believe there was a live bullet in the gun.
There appears to be one piece of evidence that could seal Baldwin’s fate.
According to reports, Baldwin had live ammunition in his gun belt.

“If any one of these three people — Alec Baldwin, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed or David Halls — had done their job, Halyna Hutchins would be alive today. It’s that simple,” Andrea Reeb, the special prosecutor appointed by the District Attorney said. “The evidence clearly shows a pattern of criminal disregard for safety on the Rust film set. In New Mexico, there is no room for film sets that don’t take our state’s commitment to gun safety and public safety seriously.”
This means all the things he said in interviews after the shooting are going to come back to haunt him.
Alec Baldwin’s post-shooting interviews are going to be played for the jury over and over where he admitted he had firearms safety training and years of firearm experience
This is why you get a lawyer and SHUT THE FUNK UP

Baldwin has *already* been in court in lawsuits regarding him killing his staffer
He claimed he wasn’t responsible due to him being an actor, that he didn’t feel guilty, he wouldn’t be charged, and that he is a victim as much as Hutchins
They jury will hear all of that
