Alec Baldwin will be criminally charged for his part in the " Rust " movie scene where Baldwin fatally shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Quote: New Mexico prosecutors brought the same charge against the movie’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, after a real bullet was fired from a prop gun by Baldwin on the movie set in October 2021.

Assistant director David Halls, who handed the loaded gun to the actor, accepted a misdemeanor charge in a plea deal. “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,” special prosecutor Andrea Reeb said.

Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed will both be charged “in the alternative,” meaning the jury will decide which of the two charges — involuntary manslaughter or involuntary manslaughter in the commission of a lawful act — they are or are not guilty of. The first charge carries a maximum sentence of 18 months, but because the second charge includes a firearm enhancement, both Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed would face a mandatory five year sentence if convicted.

Baldwin has said the gun fired by itself. Anyone who knows guns knows this is an impossibility. The only way that could happen is if a round was already chambered in the breech and the guns hammer was struck, from a fall or blow. This would in turn strike the firing pin, firing a round.

Secondly, what was live ammunition doing on a movie set ? This killing sounds like a cover-up for an intentional murder.

Thirdly, anyone who knows and understand guns automatically assumes the gun is loaded and doesn't point it at anyone. That being said, guns with blanks are pointed at people in Hollywood movies without deadly consequences all the time.
