Alec Baldwin Was ‘Distracted’ on His Phone During ‘Rust’ Gun Training, Prosecutors Say
Alec Baldwin was formally charged Tuesday with involuntary manslaughter for the death of Halyna Hutchins on the set of “Rust” in Oct. 2021.
Things are not looking good for him. This, as well as LYING about not pulling the trigger, and trying to sue anyone and everyone else to redirect blame. I hope he gets the 5 year mandatory.Alec Baldwin Was ‘Distracted’ on His Phone During ‘Rust’ Gun Training, Prosecutors Say

I've been thinking the same thing. It would be appropriate to skip this just because Baldwin is in it, but even more appropriate because it's in such bad taste to move forward after what happened. Finishing filming after fatal accidents isn't unprecedented though. The Vin Diesel XXX movie (not porn, XXX was the title) had a fatality of a stunt guy and Ben Hur lost at least one guy during the chariot race, and I think it's still in the film. The Crow was one. The original Top Gun film had one as well.
And the most famous Vic Morrow death in the Twilight Zone movie.
Those were all accidents though, right? Where Baldwin/Rust is, at the very least, a negligent homicide. Although I don't recall what the actual ruling against him was, if there was one even.

Was the death of Bruce Lee's kid in The Crow negligent homicide, or homicide? I seem to remember whispers stirring about that one. Also a prop gun related death.
This was the parallel that I was thinking of. Dude got straight murdered on film. Turned the movie into a snuff film.
I remember reading a lot of different claims and theories on what happened. Not sure what the official story ended up being, but at the time it seemed like the generally accepted version was a broken blank piece lodged in his abdomen.

So maybe Baldwins defense attorneys whipped up some "evidence" indicating the gun was modified? So that means they just drop the case? Sounds fishy.So despite FBI conclusion that trigger had to be pulled there is still some confusion.
Says charges could be reinstated. May be smoke thrown out by someone to distract and delay. Doesn't sound like they are thrilled about it.
Potential modifications to the firing mechanism of the gun prompted dismissal of charges against Baldwin, source tells CNN | CNN
New information is coming to light as to what led prosecutors to dismiss involuntary manslaughter charges against actor Alec Baldwin.
A separate source told CNN the decision to dismiss charges against Baldwin was made after new evidence came to the attention of investigators indicating the gun used in the shooting had been modified, though the exact nature of the modifications was not clear and that investigators will be examining the weapon to determine the extent of the modifications, which could have impacted how the gun functioned.
The new evidence presented has the potential to contradict the 2022 FBI forensics report on the gun, which had stated that the weapon could not be fired without pulling the trigger while the gun was cocked.
After the news of the charges being dismissed broke, a statement from the New Mexico special prosecutors overseeing the case in the “Rust” shooting cited “new facts,” and that they could not “proceed under the current time constraints and on the facts and evidence turned over by law enforcement in its existing form.”
“We therefore will be dismissing the involuntary manslaughter charges against Mr. Baldwin to conduct further investigation,” the prosecutors said in their statement, adding, “This decision does not absolve Mr. Baldwin of criminal culpability and charges may be refiled.”
Make sure you become a rich liberal actor while you are at it.
Yeah since the gun had already been examined which is how they determined it didn't fire without pulling the trigger. Surely they would have seen it was modified then.
