The family of slain "Rust" cinematographer Halyna Hutchins has reached a settlement in its wrongful death lawsuit.

“It is a comfort to the family that, in New Mexico, no one is above the law,” Mr. Panish, said in a statement that he agreed with the decision to bring criminal charges. Gutierrez-Reed was also responsible for ensuring that the guns on the set did not contain live rounds, saying in an interview that she should have taken each round out of the gun and shaken them in front of the actor — a practice that helps confirm the rounds are dummies, inert cartridges used to resemble real ammunition in a film. Hutchins had been directing him where to point the gun and that he did not pull the trigger before the gun discharged. The prosecutors said they had determined it was part of film industry standards for actors to ensure that the guns they used on set were safe for them to handle, saying they had interviewed several actors who spoke to the importance of those protocols. A judge in New Mexico will then oversee a preliminary hearing on the charges and determine whether there is probable cause to move forward. Baldwin has pushed back on that idea in the past, saying that in his experience on film sets it was not the practice for actors to check their own guns. A lawyer for Mr. “Someone is responsible for what happened, and I can’t say who that is, but I know it’s not me,” he said in the interview.

Baldwin had no reason to believe there was a live bullet in the gun—or anywhere on the movie set. The 42-year-old Hutchins died after a gun Baldwin was holding for a rehearsal fired a live round of ammunition into her chest, passing through and striking writer-director Joel Souza in the shoulder.

Alec Baldwin to Be Charged with Manslaughter in 'Rust' Shooting ... (Variety)

Alec Baldwin will be charged in connection with the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins, the cinematographer on 'Rust.'

Gutierrez Reed was working as an armorer for just the second time, and her time was divided between that job and a job in props. Under the agreement, the producers plan to resume filming, and they hope to complete the film and submit it for cinematography awards. We intend to bring the full truth to light and believe Hannah will be exonerated of wrongdoing by a jury.” The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office turned over its investigation to the prosecutor’s office in October, more than a year after the shooting took place. These charges are the result of a very flawed investigation, and an inaccurate understanding of the full facts. Both defendants will then make a “first appearance” in court, which can be done virtually. Baldwin had no reason to believe there was a live bullet in the gun – or anywhere on the movie set,” Nikas said. “He relied on the professionals with whom he worked, who assured him the gun did not have live rounds. We support the charges, will fully cooperate with this prosecution, and fervently hope the justice system works to protect the public and hold accountable those who break the law.” The evidence clearly shows a pattern of criminal disregard for safety on the ‘Rust’ film set. Baldwin has said that Halls told him the weapon was “cold,” meaning it contained only dummy rounds. Under the plea agreement, Halls will be given six months of probation but will not serve jail time.

Alec Baldwin Charges Spur Debate on Responsibility for Guns on Set (The New York Times)

The prosecutors who decided to bring criminal charges in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer said Mr. Baldwin should have ensured his gun was safe.

“Nobody involved in this intended for it to happen; what makes it criminal negligence is when an adult fails to act in a manner to safeguard the safety of others,” Mr. Baldwin’s account of what he was told about the gun when it was handed to him. Baldwin said that in his career, crew members tasked with managing weapons would sometimes insist on showing people on set the chamber of the gun, but that it did not always happen. Carmack-Altwies said the directions were to point the gun at the camera, which Ms. “If actors want to check a gun for their own peace of mind, they should check the gun only with the armorer closely supervising the process.” “Baldwin believed, based on prior gun safety training he received on movie sets, that actors should not unilaterally check guns for live ammunition,” Mr. The responsibility falls on the armorer. “I honestly think that the district attorney profoundly misunderstands the process of handling guns on sets,” Mr. Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who was in charge of weapons on set as the movie’s armorer and who will also be charged with involuntary manslaughter, also had that responsibility, the prosecutors said, as did Dave Halls, the first assistant director, who reached a plea agreement.

More than a year after cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot by Alec Baldwin on the "Rust" movie set, prosecutors announced they will charge the ...

Baldwin had no reason to believe there was a live bullet in the gun – or anywhere on the movie set. He relied on the professionals with whom he worked, who assured him the gun did not have live rounds,” Nikas said. She claims live rounds of ammunition were mixed into the dummy ammunition purchased from the company. Prosecutors will be charging him in both capacities, Carmack-Altwies explained, saying that as a producer, Baldwin had a responsibility to ensure the set was safe. “The fact is, actors are not firearms experts. During FBI testing of the the gun’s normal functioning, the weapon could not be fired without pulling the trigger while firearm was cocked, an FBI forensics report said. Baldwin has maintained that he never pulled the trigger and was not aware the gun contained live rounds. But one charge carries an additional firearms enhancement – because a gun was involved – and would require a mandatory punishment of five years in jail, the prosecutor said. So I’m not saying that there’s no chance here, but this is a really difficult case for the prosecution,” Honig said. “And then they somehow got loaded into a gun handed off to Alec Baldwin. “Nobody was checking those or at least they weren’t checking them consistently,” she said. Instead, they will be summoned to appear in court either in-person or virtually, she said.

La fiscal de distrito dice que no planea acusar a nadie más de la producción. En marzo de 2022, Gutiérrez-Reed dijo que no la llamaron para inspeccionar el arma que finalmente disparó una bala real e hirió de muerte a Hutchins. Los fiscales dicen que los términos de ese acuerdo incluyen seis meses de libertad condicional y una sentencia en suspenso. En ese caso, el delito podría ser punible con cinco años obligatorios de cárcel, dijeron los fiscales. “Él confió en los profesionales con los que trabajaba, quienes le aseguraron que el arma no tenía balas vivas. “Ella ha estado conmocionada por la tragedia, pero no ha cometido ningún delito”. “Nuestro estatuto de homicidio involuntario cubre asesinatos no intencionales, homicidios no intencionales”, dijo Carmack-Altwies. Williams continuó: “Esto no fue solo un simple accidente en el set de una película, al menos según el fiscal. Y a lo que se reduce este cargo de homicidio involuntario es a negligencia”. El señor Baldwin no tenía motivos para creer que había una bala viva en el arma, ni en ninguna parte del set de filmación”, dijo Nikas. “Pero él está siendo acusado en efecto como alguien responsable de lo que sucedió en el set. Halyna Hutchins murió por una ronda de municiones reales disparada desde un arma de utilería que estaba en manos de Baldwin, quien asegura que no apretó el gatillo.

Alec Baldwin Manslaughter Charge Is a Stretch (Bloomberg)

Accidental gun violence on sets is surprisingly common, but is usually considered a tragic mistake rather than a crime.

But a crime? A horrific accident, yes. The controversial actor was holding a prop gun that he thought was filled with blanks; a live round fired and killed a cinematographer.

Alec Baldwin Manslaughter Charge Is a Stretch (The Washington Post)

Accidental gun violence on sets is surprisingly common, but is usually considered a tragic mistake rather than a crime.

case mentioned above, the actor who fired the prop gun was a serving master sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. An accident can be painful and tragic and provoke understandable public outrage, yet not fit the definition of a crime. Even if prosecuting them is unfair — and it might well be — it’s difficult to see the virtue of creating a new rule whereby the actor shouldn’t rely on the assurances of the staff. A professor of law at Yale University, he is author, most recently, of “Invisible: The Story of the Black Woman Lawyer Who Took Down America’s Most Powerful Mobster.” All the foregoing relates to Baldwin the actor, which is what the prosecutors have addressed in their public comments. Fair question — but the actor who fired the gun wasn’t charged with a crime. It’s true that plenty of people have been convicted of manslaughter after deaths resulted from the discharge of firearms they thought were unloaded. The troupe adopted new rules for the use of prop firearms on stage, but no criminal charges resulted. Nevertheless, the shooting was ruled accidental and no charges were filed. As far as I’ve been able to determine, no one has ever sought to charge an actor for discharging a live round from a prop. The controversial actor was holding a prop gun that he thought was filled with blanks; a live round fired and killed a cinematographer. Others have explained why the known facts don’t quite to match the elements of manslaughter under New Mexico law.

Alec Baldwin's 'recklessness' on set led to criminal charge ... (The Guardian)

Actor and Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, violated 'all of the standards … if we have a gun in our hands,' says Santa Fe DA district attorney.

But he’s going to raise a defense that he was relying on his assistant director to tell him whether there were live bullets in the gun. Baldwin was sitting on a wooden church pew on the set and trying out a scene in which he would “cross-draw” a revolver from its holster. It was Halls who gave Baldwin the gun, police said. Souza, said he heard what “sounded like a whip and then a loud pop”. “It’s not my call to believe whether he goes to prison or not. As part of the agreement he will testify in any trial, Reeb said. It was because of conduct overall by him and Hannah Gutierrez, and Dave Halls’ recklessness.” “Alec Baldwin has some pretty strong defenses to these charges. He said he saw Hutchins clutch her midriff and stumble backwards, and noticed that he was bleeding from the right shoulder. That gun was not checked by him or with the armorer, which is standard protocol. “Rules of the firearm, you don’t point a gun at somebody unless you’re intending to actually shoot them. Prison is not necessarily the goal.

What are the charges Alec Baldwin will face over 'Rust' shooting? (ABC News)

ABC News' Dan Abrams spoke with "Start Here" about Alec Baldwin's pending criminal charges in the 2021 fatal shooting.

The lawyer for the armorer says Hannah Guttierez Reed is innocent and that this has been a flawed investigation. Baldwin had no reason to believe there was a live bullet in the gun – or anywhere on the movie set. I mean, clearly this day a year ago is going to have huge consequences for I mean, forget these people's careers like the rest of their lives. I think that the incident itself was a significant reminder to the movie industry that safety on set matters and not just in terms of someone getting hurt, which obviously is the most important issue, but even it's a secondary issue is, boy, we better be careful because we could get sued.This case is now so front and center that there's no claiming that, oh, well, you know, we cut corners, etc. His defense is going to be this was a mistake. Even if he believes it's true, for him to have gone out publicly and said, I didn't pull the trigger, no way, no way, I would have pulled the trigger. Alec Baldwin is saying, "How is it my fault?" He's going to get no jail time, six months probation, and he's going to clearly testify against the other two. ABRAMS: This is going to be a tough case for prosecutors. I didn't know there was a live bullet in a gun or on set. And they've also said they're going to move forward with, And that's one where there was more than just negligence involved in a death. It was broadly the safety on the set.

How strong is the criminal case against Alec Baldwin? (CNN)

As a producer, Baldwin had a responsibility to ensure the set was safe, she added.

Then, from a physical production safety standard, there’s usually a line producer or showrunner or physical production person, or company that is in charge of the actual production, the locations, the scheduling, the payroll, the shooting, the editing, they may be responsible if they created a set that is dangerous, you know? The Screen Actors Guild’s not gonna want that, and actors aren’t going to want any type of requirement to check. That person would most likely be the front person to be responsible. I mean certainly [it’s significant] with respect to the producer argument, because if you can hold [Baldwin] responsible as a producer in charge of set safety, you’ve got to know how the incident occurred. There may be other than legal pressures that are a part of this, but, you know, this is just not the right fight to pick right now. This is complete speculation, but [the prosecution has] been under a microscope on this and maybe they felt a lot of pressure to have to do something. This is going to be judged in and of itself, I would believe. What if he’s using a sword or some other explosive on set that is defective and kills somebody, we’re now going to look at the actor? And you can get a producer credit or an executive producer credit for raising money, for making an introduction of a celebrity, for adding something to the film. I don’t know the details, but there is a strong chance that he’s credited as a producer because he’s an actor and that’s it. What if an actor is driving a car in a scene and the brakes go out and he kills somebody? I’ll equate it to a premises liability type of situation, just that he was in charge of set safety.
