Alec Baldwin's sad, strange revelations to police hurt his case, legal experts say (The Mercury News)

In videos released Monday of Alec Baldwin talking to detectives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, shortly after the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, Baldwin was either arrogant or the too-eager-to-please person brought in for police ...

She then gave the gun to Halls, who handed it to Baldwin and announced that it was a “cold gun.” The OHSB report found that Rust Movie Productions had “willfully violated” a number of safety procedures and showed “plain indifference” to the well-being of employees and crew. “Baldwin was so off-base in this initial interview with investigators that he was either living in a different universe or just lying to them,” Custudio said. That’s because, the attorney said, the report recognized that Baldwin’s authority on the production “was limited to approving script changes and creative casting.” “Unfortunately for Baldwin, his outlook continues to darken as details of a chaotic set with few safety precautions continue to come to light.” Six months after Hutchins’ death, “various components” of the investigation remain outstanding, Mendoza said in a statement, the New York Times reported. Baldwin became visibly distraught, stopped talking and said he wanted to call his wife. Things got strange when Baldwin told detectives about his wife’s response when he suggested having a gun in the house. But if Baldwin was trying to please detectives by appearing agreeable and entertaining, experts in police interrogations say it might not have been for strategic reasons. “Oh my gosh!” one of the investigators exclaimed. He also first planted the controversial idea that he didn’t pull the trigger. Legal experts said Baldwin’s police interview offers “Exhibit A” for why people should have attorneys with them when questioned by police.

“Right now, no one’s come forward and admitted it to bringing the live rounds onto the movie set,” Mendoza told “Today.” “I’ve said this before: I think there was complacency on the set. “Whether he’s responsible or not, will be up to the district attorney’s office,” Mendoza insisted.

Footage shows Alec Baldwin practising with gun before fatal shooting (The Guardian)

Santa Fe sheriff releases files on death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on film set last October.

“There was a bang that was louder than I ever heard come from a blank before,” Souza tells officers. The director also describes how the armourer Hannah Gutierrez Reed had handed the weapon to Baldwin, saying it was “cold” or “clean”, meaning that it supposedly contained no live rounds. “I was down on my ass and I look over and see the cinematographer Halyna Hutchins with blood coming out of her back,” he says in the footage.

Alec Baldwin's gruff attitude during his first interaction with police after he shot and killed Halyna Hutchins can be seen in bodycam footage.

“[Armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed] always wanted dummies in the gun and Alec never liked anything fake like guns and even the rubber knife. “What do you need?” “My understanding is, you were in the room when the lady,” a responding deputy with the sheriff’s office says to Baldwin in the clip before trailing off.

Everything We Know About the Rust Shooting (The Cut)

Alec Baldwin discharged a prop gun on the set of the Western Rust, accidentally hitting cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza.

“I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them, never.” Stephanopoulos noted that some have argued that “you’re never supposed to point a gun on anyone on a set, no matter what.” Baldwin responded, “Unless the person is the cinematographer who’s directing me at where to point the gun for her camera angle. “What we had, based on our investigators’ findings, was a set of obvious hazards to employees regarding the use of firearms and management’s failure to act upon those obvious hazards,” said bureau chief Bob Genoway of the investigation. The suit accuses him of reckless discharge of a deadly weapon (“a criminal offense in the State of New Mexico,” per the filing) and says the production cut corners to cut costs and would up creating a hazardous environment. In response to Matt Hutchins’s lawsuit, the filing alleges that Halyna gave Baldwin the instructions about positioning and firing the gun. In his affidavit, released on October 24, Souza said the gun went off during rehearsal of a scene where Baldwin, seated on a church pew, pulls his firearm from its holster and aims directly “towards the camera lens.” The director explained that he and Hutchins were checking the camera angle at the time, and assistant director Dave Halls told Baldwin he was using a “cold gun” just before the shot. “Someone put a live bullet in a gun, a bullet that wasn’t even supposed to be on the property,” he said. “Everything was about the schedule and the budget.” Luper said production reneged on promised hotel rooms for the camera crew (an issue Hutchins allegedly resolved by making cuts to her own expenses) and that people weren’t being paid. On October 25, the Associated Press reported that Halls had been fired from the movie Freedom’s Path in 2019, after “a gun was unexpectedly discharged” and injured a crew member. In an Instagram message explaining the delay, Baldwin stated that he wants to comply with the investigation, but “this is a process where one state makes a request of another state.” The actor is reportedly living in New York, where the Suffolk County sheriff’s office has to enact the warrant should it hold up in this other state. On October 21, a woman died on the set of the Western Rust after a prop gun Alec Baldwin was holding accidentally discharged in the course of rehearsing a scene. “We’re trying to determine right now how and what type of projectile was used in the firearm,” spokesperson Juan Rios told the New York Times in the shooting’s aftermath. The gun Baldwin was using turned out to have a “lead projectile” inside, Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza explained: “We would consider it a live round, a bullet, live, because it did fire from the weapon and obviously caused the death of Ms. Hutchins and injured Mr. Souza.”

Alec Baldwin shooting footage and Halyna Hutchins' final moments (Los Angeles Times)

The sheriff's deluge of documents and videos from the 'Rust' investigation shows a lack of protocol and insensitivity toward the cinematographer's family.

Drowning the media with a deluge of images and details provides care to no one. In any case, the result was the same: the dispersal of images, including those of a woman dying, that should have been redacted and a general feeling that it was somehow up to the press, and the public, to figure out what happened on that terrible day. The startling release of so much information is, in itself, news, and for outlets, like The Times, that have been rigorously covering the “Rust” story, the details provided by the new documents and video are impossible to ignore entirely, particularly because the story has so much significance even beyond its specific tragedy. For this reason, we are not going to comment on the material released except to say we hope the press will exercise discretion in how they use the graphic images and videos of the fatal events of Oct 21, 2021.” According to a spokesperson, the department was in compliance not only with the state’s Inspection of Public Records Act, but also the state’s victim’s rights laws, which require that victims be treated with fairness, dignity and privacy throughout the criminal justice process. Everything in the Dropbox file was, of course, what actually happened, and as a journalist, I can stand only on the side of transparency.

Videos show aftermath of Alec Baldwin film-set shooting (Boston.com)

The sheriff investigating the fatal film-set shooting of a cinematographer by actor Alec Baldwin described complacency and disorganization.

Baldwin said in a December interview with ABC News that he was on set pointing the gun at Hutchins at her instruction when it went off without his pulling the trigger. At least five lawsuits have been filed over the shooting, including a wrongful death lawsuit brought by Hutchins’ family against Baldwin and the movie’s other producers. “Mr. Baldwin welcomes this investigation,” said attorney Luke Nikas in a statement. The vast trove of newly released law enforcement files includes lapel camera video of the mortally wounded Hutchins slipping in and out of consciousness as an evacuation helicopter arrives. Outside, a medical evacuation helicopter lands in the desert. “There is a degree of neglect.

Alec Baldwin Is Told Halyna Hutchins Died in New Police Video ... (Entertainment Tonight)

The footage comes as the Santa Fe Sheriff's Office released copious documents pertaining to their investigation on Monday.

"Additionally, the interviews and affidavits disclosed today continue to corroborate Mr. Baldwin’s description of the events—including an affidavit from the Detective stating that the cameraman, who was standing next to Ms. Hutchins and Mr. Souza at the time of the accident, confirmed that Mr. Baldwin was 'very careful' with guns on the set." For this reason, we are not going to comment on the material released except to say we hope the press will exercise discretion in how they use the graphic images and videos of the fatal events of Oct 21, 2021." It is toward the end of the interview when investigators inform Baldwin that Hutchins has died of her injuries. And she’s in critical condition in the hospital right now, and I fired the gun. When the interview begins, Baldwin is read his Miranda warning, and asks if he's being charged with anything. As I suspected, somebody put a live round in the gun."
