Prosecutors have taken steps toward refiling charges against Alec Baldwin in the deadly accidental shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on a New Mexico movie set.
Prosecutors on Tuesday said they will ask a grand jury to consider whether actor Alec Baldwin should again be criminally charged in the accidental 2021 shooting death of a cinematographer on the New Mexico set of the Western film 'Rust.' 'After extensive investigation over the past several months, additional facts have come to light that we believe show Mr. Baldwin has criminal culpability' in the case, said special prosecutors Kari T. Morrissey and Jason J. Lewis in a statement.
The gun fired during a rehearsal when Baldwin was practicing a cross-draw maneuver. Firearms experts have said Baldwin likely pulled the trigger, which Baldwin denies doing. During the Oct. 6 court hearing in Santa Fe, conducted virtually, Morrissey said the producers’ actions contributed to the deadly October 2021 shooting that claimed the life of Hutchins, 42. Morrissey also alleged that producers have attempted to thwart aspects of the criminal investigation.
