“Rust” never sleeps.
Alec Baldwin has been charged for a second time in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Baldwin has been charged again with counts of involuntary manslaughter. Previously he’d been charged but then those charges were dropped.
Hutchins was shot in October 2021 by a prop gun in Baldwin’s hand on the Santa Fe, New Mexico set of a low budget film called “Rust.” The gun also shot director Joel Souza but the wound in his arm was not fatal.
“The above named defendant did cause the death of Halyna Hutchins by an act committed with the total disregard of indifference for the safety of others,” the indictment says.
If convicted Baldwin could face 18 months in prison. A trial for Hannah Guitierrez, who worked on the set and took care of the guns, is already set for A trial is scheduled to start Feb. 21, 2024 in Santa Fe.
Here is a copy of the indictment.
