Alec Baldwin to Be Recharged With Involuntary Manslaughter

On Tuesday, New Mexico authorities announced plans to recharge Alec Baldwin for involuntary manslaughter in the 2021 shooting death of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

According to special prosecutor Kari Morrissey, the grand jury hearing for Baldwin’s case will take place around the middle of November.

The decision came after an outside forensics investigation concluded that Baldwin was responsible for firing the rehearsal gun that killed Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza.

The result was consistent with a previous FBI examination of the weapon.

“After extensive investigation over the past several months, additional facts have come to light that we believe show Mr. Baldwin has criminal culpability in the death of Halyna Hutchins and the shooting of Joel Souza,” Morrissey and Jason Lewis wrote in a statement.

Alec Baldwin has stated that he did not pull the trigger in Hutchins’ death.

This tragic event should not have resulted in this misdirected prosecution. Baldwin’s attorneys, Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro, released a statement saying, “We will answer any charges in court.”

The “30 Rock” star and the film’s principal weapons handler, Hannah Gutierrez, will both stand trial in 2024 for their roles in Hutchins’ murder. They were both first charged in January with involuntary manslaughter.

As we previously reported, in April, prosecutors dropped all charges against Baldwin after discovering fresh evidence suggesting the gun he used may have been modified to fire without pulling the trigger.

Morrissey promised to reload Baldwin’s rifle and give it a new go if the results were positive.

Experts agree that prosecutors prefer using grand juries to establish probable cause and move cases forward to trial rather than submitting a formal criminal complaint, which would be subject to investigation by defence attorneys during a preliminary hearing.
