Rachel Mason's documentary, Last Take: Rust and the Story of Halyna, is not a sensationalist recounting of tragedy. It's a deeply personal exploration of the life and untimely death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, whose life was tragically cut short on the set of Rust. Rachel, a friend and fellow filmmaker, centers the narrative on Halyna herself, weaving together interviews with her friends and colleagues to illuminate her legacy beyond the sensationalized headlines. Rachel and Halyna became friends through their children, who were classmates at the same daycare. This shared experience blossomed into creative collaboration, with Rachel and Halyna working together on music videos, gallery installations, and performance art pieces. Following Halyna's death, her widower, Matt Hutchins, entrusted Mason with the task of creating a documentary, out of a desire to counter the overwhelming media frenzy. “At first, the idea of doing a documentary about Halyna made literally no sense,” Mason recalls. “She's the person I wanted to make films with. Suddenly I had to recognize, no, she has passed on, and someone's got to tell the world who she was.” Rachel dove into Halyna's filmography and personal film archives that she had stored on hard drives. Halyna's detailed notebook for Rust, filled with ideas and references, offered a profound insight into her creative process. While Rachel wanted to create a beautiful biography about her friend, she recognized the need to confront the media's portrayal of the shooting. “The media portrayal of the way things unfolded became part of the film, because all the different people involved got distorted in the media. That became part of grappling with this story and trying to find the truth by going back and meeting the real people who were there.” As Halyna's friend, Rachel gained the trust of Halyna's colleagues on the film, who shared their memories of her. Halyna's own words from her notebooks and in messages and emails add to the narrative. Rachel also had to sit through the trial of the armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, which was one of the of the hardest things she had to do for the documentary. The decision to complete Rust after Halyna's death sparked ethical debates within the film community. However, her family, including her mother, strongly supported the project. Rachel, who was granted exclusive access to the set during filming, believes that finishing Rust was essential. “Halyna wanted the world to see her work. She was so ambitious,” Mason emphasizes. “I have no doubt, Rust was gonna be the film that all the other directors would see a new, up and coming superstar. This would have taken their breath away. She would have gotten calls—she would have been a high level DP.” You can see Last Take: Rust and the Story of Halyna on Hulu.

Last Take: The Tragic Story of Halyna Hutchins and the Rust Shooting A tragic accident on the set of "Rust" took Halyna Hutchins' life, and the new Hulu documentary "Last Take: Rust and the Story of Halyna" examines the failures that led to that moment. Directed by her friend Rachel Mason, the film attempts to honor Hutchins while also dissecting the catastrophic failures that led to her death. Halyna Hutchins was more than just a talented cinematographer. She was a mother, a wife, and an artist dedicated to her craft. And she loved working on "Rust." That's a painful truth that echoes throughout the documentary, revealed through her personal notes, messages, and behind-the-scenes footage. This wasn't just another job for her. She was fully invested. Then, in a single moment, everything changed. October 21, 2021. A routine rehearsal inside a small wooden church on the set of "Rust" in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Alec Baldwin, both the film's star and one of its producers, was handed a Colt .45 revolver. It was supposed to be a "cold gun"—an industry term for a firearm containing no live rounds. But when Baldwin pointed it toward the camera during the scene and pulled the trigger, a live bullet was discharged. The shot struck Halyna Hutchins in the chest and injured director Joel Souza, who was standing behind her. She was rushed to the hospital but didn't survive. The immediate aftermath was chaos. Authorities swarmed the set. Baldwin, visibly distraught, was questioned by investigators, struggling to comprehend how this could have happened. The film crew had already been in turmoil—complaints about unsafe working conditions, crew members walking off set in protest just days before. The warning signs were there, but no one stopped production. The documentary includes footage of Baldwin being informed that Hutchins had died. His reaction—shock, disbelief, horror—mirrors what most people felt when they first heard the news. A movie set, a place where safety should be an absolute priority, had turned into a crime scene. As the investigation unfolded, it became clear that corners had been cut. The film's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, was responsible for handling weapons on set, but she was young and relatively inexperienced. Reports surfaced that crew members had been using the prop guns for live target practice—a staggering breach of safety protocols. The question became: who was ultimately responsible? Baldwin, as an actor, claimed he was simply following directions. As a producer, could he have done more to ensure a safer set? And then there's Gutierrez Reed—should she have caught the live round before it ever made its way onto set? What about assistant director Dave Halls, who reportedly handed Baldwin the gun and declared it "cold"? The documentary doesn't shy away from these tough questions, but its focus isn't just the legal blame game. It's about the systemic failures that made this possible in the first place. Hutchins' widower, Matt Hutchins, served as an executive producer on the film, ensuring that her story remained at the center of it all. He initially pursued a wrongful death lawsuit against Baldwin and the "Rust" production team, which was eventually settled. But legal battles continue—Gutierrez Reed faces charges of involuntary manslaughter, and Baldwin himself was charged, then had those charges dropped, only for them to be reconsidered later. The bigger issue? This wasn't the first time safety has been compromised on a movie set, and unless serious changes happen, it won't be the last. The film industry has long relied on outdated practices, assuming accidents are rare enough to justify pushing boundaries. But the truth is, workplace safety shouldn't be an afterthought, whether it's in a factory, a construction site, or a Hollywood set. And when people raise red flags—like crew members did on "Rust"—they need to be taken seriously before tragedy strikes. During a panel discussion about "Last Take," director Joel Souza, who was also injured in the shooting, admitted that he wished the documentary focused more on Halyna's life rather than just the circumstances of her death. And he's not wrong. The documentary was originally intended to be a tribute, but as Mason put it, the commercial value of the "Rust" tragedy became an undeniable part of the story. That's the harsh reality of true crime and high-profile incidents—what starts as a personal loss often turns into a public spectacle. Baldwin, meanwhile, has returned to work and even launched a reality show with his family, a move that has drawn criticism. His involvement in "Rust" continues, as the film has resumed production, now with Hutchins' widower as an executive producer. That decision alone raises ethical questions—how do you finish a movie tied to such a devastating loss? And is there a right way to do it? Mason hopes the documentary serves a greater purpose beyond recounting the tragedy. She wants it to spark conversations about on-set safety, not just in Hollywood, but in workplaces everywhere. Because at the end of the day, this wasn't just an accident. It was a preventable failure at every level. And Halyna Hutchins should still be here. #RustTragedy #HalynaHutchins #AlecBaldwin #OnSetSafety Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Actor Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter trial ended in a mistrial last July after the judge determined the state withheld evidence from Baldwin that could have helped his defense. That evidence was a batch of rounds turned over to the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office by retired police officer Troy Teske.

OA1065 (This episode first appeared on Gavel Gavel Aug. 18th) Three years ago, cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot on the set of Alec Baldwin's film, Rust. Alec Baldwin (in addition to armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed) was subsequently criminally charged with involuntary manslaughter. Recently, Baldwin's counsel brought a motion for dismissal and sanctions, and after a shocking day in court, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the case with prejudice. Matt and Thomas walk through the events of that hearing and try to figure out what in the world the prosecutors were thinking. State of New Mexico v.

Two jurors involved in Alec Baldwin's "Rust" case, which was dismissed last week, are speaking out about their experiences and thoughts on the prosecution's case. Baldwin, the 66-year-old "30 Rock" alum, faced criminal charges nearly three years after the fatal incident on the set of "Rust" that resulted in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and the injury of director Joel Souza. Gabriela Picayo and Johanna Haag, who served as jurors, shared their doubts about the strength of the prosecution's case in an interview with The New York Times. Their insights provide a deeper understanding of the case's dynamics and the factors leading to its dismissal. Johanna Haag, known as juror No. 7, works in the advertising and marketing field. She recalled the prosecution showing the jury emotional law enforcement footage of the aftermath of the shooting. Haag described Baldwin as looking "shocked and stunned and so sad," which influenced her perception of the incident. "As the week went by, it just didn't seem like a very strong case," Haag told The Times. "It was clearly an accident, and the idea that there's anything purposeful, or the idea that there was this grave carelessness that caused this, didn't seem realistic to me." Similarly, Gabriela Picayo, a scientist who served as juror No. 9, believed that Baldwin, as an actor, should not have been expected to have extensive knowledge of gun safety. She emphasized that Baldwin should have trusted the experts on set to ensure safety. “I think he would have trusted the people, you know, on the set to do their job," Picayo said. She also reflected on the conviction of Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed for involuntary manslaughter. “I'm still here, I'm still open to hearing and obviously trying to stay unbiased,” she said, “but I was starting to move towards the direction of thinking that this was very silly and he should not be on trial.” Despite her initial leanings against convicting Baldwin, Picayo acknowledged that she "wasn't presented with all of the evidence, so I don't know what could have swayed me." The case against Baldwin was ultimately dismissed after his lawyer, Luke Nikas, argued that the prosecution had buried "critical" evidence. This evidence, ammunition discovered by a man named Troy Teske, a friend of the father of the convicted Rust armorer, was not disclosed to the defense. “At that point, I really started to feel sorry for Mr. Baldwin,” Haag said. “I thought, you know, ‘What's going on here? What is happening?' ” The dismissal of the case came as a surprise to the jurors. They found out only after being sent home and receiving a text message from the court that read "Trail CANCELLED," with the word "trial" misspelled. This development has sparked discussions about the handling of the case and the implications for Baldwin and others involved. As the legal proceedings conclude, the reflections of the jurors provide a glimpse into the complexities and challenges of this high-profile case. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Baldwin, the 66-year-old "30 Rock" alum, faced criminal charges nearly three years after the fatal incident on the set of "Rust" that resulted in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and the injury of director Joel Souza. Gabriela Picayo and Johanna Haag, who served as jurors, shared their doubts about the strength of the prosecution's case in an interview with The New York Times. Their insights provide a deeper understanding of the case's dynamics and the factors leading to its dismissal. Johanna Haag, known as juror No. 7, works in the advertising and marketing field. She recalled the prosecution showing the jury emotional law enforcement footage of the aftermath of the shooting. Haag described Baldwin as looking "shocked and stunned and so sad," which influenced her perception of the incident. "As the week went by, it just didn't seem like a very strong case," Haag told The Times. "It was clearly an accident, and the idea that there's anything purposeful, or the idea that there was this grave carelessness that caused this, didn't seem realistic to me." Similarly, Gabriela Picayo, a scientist who served as juror No. 9, believed that Baldwin, as an actor, should not have been expected to have extensive knowledge of gun safety. She emphasized that Baldwin should have trusted the experts on set to ensure safety. “I think he would have trusted the people, you know, on the set to do their job," Picayo said. She also reflected on the conviction of Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed for involuntary manslaughter. “I'm still here, I'm still open to hearing and obviously trying to stay unbiased,” she said, “but I was starting to move towards the direction of thinking that this was very silly and he should not be on trial.” Despite her initial leanings against convicting Baldwin, Picayo acknowledged that she "wasn't presented with all of the evidence, so I don't know what could have swayed me." The case against Baldwin was ultimately dismissed after his lawyer, Luke Nikas, argued that the prosecution had buried "critical" evidence. This evidence, ammunition discovered by a man named Troy Teske, a friend of the father of the convicted Rust armorer, was not disclosed to the defense. “At that point, I really started to feel sorry for Mr. Baldwin,” Haag said. “I thought, you know, ‘What's going on here? What is happening?' ” The dismissal of the case came as a surprise to the jurors. They found out only after being sent home and receiving a text message from the court that read "Trail CANCELLED," with the word "trial" misspelled. This development has sparked discussions about the handling of the case and the implications for Baldwin and others involved. As the legal proceedings conclude, the reflections of the jurors provide a glimpse into the complexities and challenges of this high-profile case. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Alec Baldwin's legal team has indicated plans to sue Santa Fe Sheriff Adan Mendoza and prosecutor Kari Morrissey after it was revealed they withheld critical evidence during Baldwin's trial for the on-set shooting death of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. In preservation notices obtained by Rolling Stone, Baldwin's attorneys warned both Mendoza and Morrissey of “future litigation” due to their actions during the involuntary manslaughter trial. The notices require both parties to “preserve all relevant information” including “devices, hard drives, emails, text messages, and other electronic communications” related to the case. This encompasses “all communications between and among anyone at the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office, the First Judicial District Attorney's Office, and/or the Special Prosecutor's Office related to the Incident,” as well as all “documents, communications, and information referencing or relating to Mr. Baldwin.” The notices also caution that failure to comply could result in “serious consequences, including civil liability, court sanctions, and adverse evidentiary inferences in any subsequent proceeding.” In a surprising turn of events, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed Baldwin's case, citing the Santa Fe Sheriff's Office and Morrissey's failure to disclose key evidence regarding the source of the live round that killed Hutchins on October 21, 2021. Hutchins was fatally shot while preparing for a scene inside the Bonanza Creek Ranch in New Mexico. Baldwin was practicing a cross draw with a pistol when it accidentally discharged, striking Hutchins fatally and injuring director Joel Souza. Baldwin, aged 66, along with the film's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, faced involuntary manslaughter charges for the incident. Gutierrez-Reed, found guilty in a separate trial, was sentenced to 18 months in prison in March. Following the dismissal of Baldwin's case, her legal team is seeking to overturn her conviction, citing similar prosecutorial misconduct. In a motion filed Tuesday, attorney Jason Bowles asserted that substantial evidence, undisclosed before the trial, had come to light. Bowles has also requested that Gutierrez-Reed be released from prison and called for the removal of special prosecutor Kari Morrissey due to alleged misconduct. District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies has continued to support Morrissey despite these allegations. Though Baldwin's criminal charges have been dismissed, he is not entirely free of legal battles. Civil lawsuits from Hutchins' family remain pending. Gloria Allred, representing Hutchins' parents and sister, emphasized that the judge's decision to dismiss the case does not exonerate Baldwin. “The judge's decision is in no way, shape, or form an exoneration of him,” Allred stated. “It does not change the fact that Alec Baldwin killed Halyna Hutchins on the set of 'Rust.' He fired a loaded gun while pointing it at a human being.” At a press conference on Saturday, Allred reiterated her commitment to seeking justice for Hutchins, vowing “to fight to the end for Halyna Hutchins.” Despite the case dismissal, the ongoing civil litigation ensures that Baldwin remains entangled in the legal ramifications of the tragic shooting on the “Rust” film set.

In a stunning turn of events, the judge in Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter trial dismissed the case Friday, agreeing with the actor's lawyers that prosecutors hid evidence that may have been linked to the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the Western movie “Rust” in 2021. "There is no way for the court to right this wrong," said First Judicial District Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer. "The sanction of dismissal is the only warranted remedy." The dismissal was with prejudice, meaning the involuntary manslaughter case against the actor cannot be filed again. Baldwin could have been sentenced to up to 18 months in prison if the jurors had unanimously agreed he committed the felony. The actor was rehearsing a scene at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe County on Oct. 21, 2021, when the prop revolver he was holding went off, killing Hutchins, 42, and wounding director Joel Souza. The actor had pleaded not guilty. He claims that he was not aware the revolver contained a live round and that it discharged accidentally after he followed instructions to point it toward Hutchins. Baldwin's lawyers asserted that the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office took possession of live rounds of ammunition as evidence but did not record them in the official case file or reveal their existence to the actor's defense team. Kari Morrissey, the special prosecutor in the case, said the disputed ammunition was not linked to the case or hidden from Baldwin's lawyers. She argued the bullets were not the same size or composition as the live rounds retrieved from the “Rust” set — including the one that killed Hutchins, 42 — and described the dispute as a “wild goose chase that has no evidentiary value whatsoever.” Morrissey said after the ruling that she was disappointed by the court's dismissal and disagreed, but respects the decision. "I believe the importance of the evidence was misconstrued by the defense attorneys," Morrissey told reporters outside court. Asked if she believed she let the Hutchins family down, Morrissey said: "No, we didn't. We did everything humanly possible to bring justice to Halyna and to her family, and we're proud of the work that we did." Alec Baldwin ‘Rust' trial: Judge dismisses his involuntary manslaughter trial Marissa Poppell, a sheriff's office crime scene technician who testified this week, claimed the rounds were not hidden from Baldwin's lawyers and pushed back on Baldwin lawyer Alex Spiro's contention that the Colt .45 ammunition matched the round that killed Hutchins. The Colt .45 rounds were delivered to the sheriff's office in March by former police officer Troy Teske, a friend of Thell Reed, the stepfather of “Rust” armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the same day she was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in Hutchins' death. The prosecution described Teske as a “good Samaritan.” Gutierrez-Reed was sentenced to 18 months behind bars, but the dismissal of Baldwin's case could lead to her conviction being overturned. The actor and his team had already won a major legal victory this week when First Judicial District Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer ruled at a pretrial hearing Monday that his role as a co-producer on “Rust” was not relevant to the trial. The move prevented prosecutors from arguing that he bore a special responsibility on the set. Baldwin was originally charged with involuntary manslaughter and a firearm enhancement charge, but the latter charge was eventually dropped. The charges were dismissed altogether in April 2023 as prosecutors cited “new facts in the case.” Then, in January, a grand jury indicted him on an involuntary manslaughter charge once again. Baldwin's lawyers asked the judge last month to toss the case, arguing that the firearm was badly damaged during forensic testing at an FBI lab. But that motion was denied.

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," the guest, retired FBI Special Agent and Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, Robin Dreeke, discusses the legal implications and moral responsibility surrounding Alec Baldwin in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of "Rust." The conversation focuses on the prosecution's argument that Baldwin, while playing make-believe with a real gun, violated fundamental firearm safety rules, leading to Hutchins' death. The prosecution highlights the inexperience of the armorer, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, and the tight budget of the film as significant contributing factors. The defense counters by arguing Baldwin was simply an actor relying on others to ensure safety, emphasizing that the critical issue is how a live bullet ended up on the set. Dreeke and Brueski discuss the effectiveness of both arguments, the potential influence of Baldwin's celebrity status, and the overall culture of complacency on set. The episode concludes with speculation about the trial's outcome, noting the emotional and subjective nature of the jury's decision, particularly given the regional context of New Mexico, where the trial is taking place. ### Main Points - Prosecution argues Alec Baldwin violated firearm safety rules, leading to Halyna Hutchins' death. - Hannah Gutierrez Reed's inexperience and the film's tight budget are highlighted as critical issues. - Defense argues Baldwin was acting and relied on others to ensure safety. - Discussion on how a live bullet ended up on the set. - Examination of the culture of complacency on movie sets. - Potential influence of Baldwin's celebrity status on the legal proceedings. - Speculation about the jury's decision, emphasizing the emotional and regional factors at play. ### Hashtags #AlecBaldwin #HalynaHutchins #HannahGutierrezReed #RustMovie #FirearmSafety #MovieSetAccident #LegalImplications Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott discusses the complexities surrounding Alec Baldwin's trial following the tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Scott contrasts Baldwin's situation with that of Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer found guilty earlier. She underscores the differing responsibilities of actors and armorers on set, emphasizing the gray areas in Baldwin's case. Scott acknowledges Baldwin's role as a producer, a position that could imply more responsibility, though it's often nominal. She speculates on the potential impact of Baldwin's controversial public image on the trial's outcome. Scott also explores the cultural context of gun ownership in New Mexico, suggesting it could influence jurors' perceptions. She stresses the importance of rigorous safety protocols on film sets, lamenting their absence in this case. A recent legal decision to withhold Baldwin's producer status from the jury could mitigate bias. Ultimately, Scott sees the trial as a civil liability matter, with many involved parties facing consequences. The conversation reflects on whether the trial will bring any real justice or closure to Hutchins' family. **Main Points:** - Alec Baldwin's trial compared to Hannah Gutierrez-Reed's, who was found guilty and is serving time. - Discussion of Baldwin's responsibilities as an actor versus those of the armorer. - Baldwin's controversial public image may influence the trial outcome. - The role of cultural perceptions of gun ownership in New Mexico. - Importance of stringent safety protocols on film sets. - Recent legal decision to withhold Baldwin's producer status from the jury to avoid bias. - Trial seen primarily as a civil liability issue with many involved facing consequences. - Reflection on whether the trial will bring justice or closure to Halyna Hutchins' family. **Hashtags:** #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #ShavaunScott #AlecBaldwinTrial #HalynaHutchins #FilmSetSafety #CivilLiability Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a stunning turn of events, the judge in Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter trial dismissed the case Friday, agreeing with the actor's lawyers that prosecutors hid evidence that may have been linked to the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the Western movie “Rust” in 2021. "There is no way for the court to right this wrong," said First Judicial District Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer. "The sanction of dismissal is the only warranted remedy." The dismissal was with prejudice, meaning the involuntary manslaughter case against the actor cannot be filed again. Baldwin could have been sentenced to up to 18 months in prison if the jurors had unanimously agreed he committed the felony. The actor was rehearsing a scene at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe County on Oct. 21, 2021, when the prop revolver he was holding went off, killing Hutchins, 42, and wounding director Joel Souza. The actor had pleaded not guilty. He claims that he was not aware the revolver contained a live round and that it discharged accidentally after he followed instructions to point it toward Hutchins. Baldwin's lawyers asserted that the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office took possession of live rounds of ammunition as evidence but did not record them in the official case file or reveal their existence to the actor's defense team. Kari Morrissey, the special prosecutor in the case, said the disputed ammunition was not linked to the case or hidden from Baldwin's lawyers. She argued the bullets were not the same size or composition as the live rounds retrieved from the “Rust” set — including the one that killed Hutchins, 42 — and described the dispute as a “wild goose chase that has no evidentiary value whatsoever.” Morrissey said after the ruling that she was disappointed by the court's dismissal and disagreed, but respects the decision. "I believe the importance of the evidence was misconstrued by the defense attorneys," Morrissey told reporters outside court. Asked if she believed she let the Hutchins family down, Morrissey said: "No, we didn't. We did everything humanly possible to bring justice to Halyna and to her family, and we're proud of the work that we did." Alec Baldwin ‘Rust' trial: Judge dismisses his involuntary manslaughter trial Marissa Poppell, a sheriff's office crime scene technician who testified this week, claimed the rounds were not hidden from Baldwin's lawyers and pushed back on Baldwin lawyer Alex Spiro's contention that the Colt .45 ammunition matched the round that killed Hutchins. The Colt .45 rounds were delivered to the sheriff's office in March by former police officer Troy Teske, a friend of Thell Reed, the stepfather of “Rust” armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the same day she was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in Hutchins' death. The prosecution described Teske as a “good Samaritan.” Gutierrez-Reed was sentenced to 18 months behind bars, but the dismissal of Baldwin's case could lead to her conviction being overturned. The actor and his team had already won a major legal victory this week when First Judicial District Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer ruled at a pretrial hearing Monday that his role as a co-producer on “Rust” was not relevant to the trial. The move prevented prosecutors from arguing that he bore a special responsibility on the set. Baldwin was originally charged with involuntary manslaughter and a firearm enhancement charge, but the latter charge was eventually dropped. The charges were dismissed altogether in April 2023 as prosecutors cited “new facts in the case.” Then, in January, a grand jury indicted him on an involuntary manslaughter charge once again. Baldwin's lawyers asked the judge last month to toss the case, arguing that the firearm was badly damaged during forensic testing at an FBI lab. But that motion was denied.

Special Prosecutor Erlinda Ocampo Johnson began her opening statements by presenting her case against Alec Baldwin, alleging recklessness on the set of the film "Rust." Johnson's argument centered on Baldwin's failure to adhere to basic firearm safety protocols and his mishandling of the weapon that led to the tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. "The evidence will show that someone who played make-believe with a real gun and violated the cardinal rules of firearm safety is the defendant, Alexander Baldwin," Johnson stated. She informed the jury that Baldwin had requested the "biggest gun" available for the movie and that the firearm was sold to the "Rust" set in "perfect" working order. Johnson emphasized Baldwin's repeated failure to conduct safety checks with the on-set armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, even citing footage of Baldwin during safety training "running around, shooting his gun." Johnson described the critical day Hutchins was shot, highlighting Baldwin's failure to perform a safety check. "You will learn that one of the rounds in that revolver was a real round, and the evidence will show that Ms. Gutierrez then handed the gun to the defendant," Johnson said. "And what you will learn is that, once again, the defendant failed to do a gun safety check with this armorer." Despite Baldwin's emphatic claim that he did not pull the trigger, the prosecution insisted this was not true. Johnson asserted that video footage would show Baldwin using the firearm on set multiple times without any mechanical issues. Additionally, forensic experts from the FBI confirmed the gun's functionality through multiple tests. In contrast, Baldwin's defense, led by attorney Alex Spiro, argued that Baldwin committed no crime. Spiro shifted the focus to how a live bullet ended up on the "Rust" set, stating there was no evidence Baldwin was involved in this mishap or violated gun safety rules. "He was an actor, acting, playing the role of Harland Rust," Spiro said. He explained that the rules of gun safety are different on a movie set, where actors can act in ways that are otherwise dangerous in real life. The defense played the scene from the church where Hutchins was shot, showing Baldwin as Harland Rust being approached by two men pointing guns at him. Spiro described the "Rust" set as relaxed and reassured the jury that Baldwin's gun was deemed "cold" multiple times. "No one had any idea that this venomous, toxic element had been inserted into this magic they were creating," Spiro stated. He placed the blame on the armorer and David Hall, the first assistant director, who was ultimately responsible for on-set safety. Spiro highlighted the division of responsibility on a movie set, arguing that Baldwin's role was to act, not to ensure gun safety. He stressed that Baldwin had no knowledge of the live bullet in the gun. "On a movie set, you're allowed to pull the trigger, so even if he intentionally pulled the trigger, that doesn't make him guilty of homicide," Spiro told the jury. The first witness, Santa Fe Police officer Nicholas LeFleur, testified about the chaotic aftermath of the shooting. LeFleur, the first law enforcement officer on the scene, expressed concerns about witnesses speaking to each other, potentially tainting their statements. He described setting up a crime scene perimeter and instructing Baldwin not to speak to others. However, footage showed Baldwin speaking about the incident, raising questions about whether he defied police orders. Spiro's cross-examination of LeFleur focused on procedural mistakes, with the officer admitting that "hindsight is 20/20." Baldwin's defense continued to challenge the state's narrative, emphasizing the absence of clear evidence that Baldwin was responsible for the live bullet's presence on set.

In a surprising turn of events, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer ordered a temporary recess in Alec Baldwin's pretrial hearing. This came after a contentious debate between the prosecution and Baldwin's defense team over redacted documents provided to the defense. "The court is not happy with this," Judge Sommer declared before announcing a one-hour recess, adding, "I'll see what's going to happen." The documents in question were related to an Inspection of Public Records Act request filed by Baldwin's defense team, which they claim included emails and witness statements that were fully redacted. The prosecution countered, stating that the blacked-out portions were communications between prosecutors and paralegals, to which the defense was not entitled. The motions being heard include critical decisions about what evidence, testimony, and arguments will be permissible in front of the jury. One significant motion filed by Baldwin's legal team sought to exclude his role as a producer from consideration, arguing that it was irrelevant to the allegations of negligence. The prosecution, however, maintained that Baldwin's producer role contributed to his reckless behavior, potentially endangering the safety of others. In a decisive ruling, Judge Sommer denied the motion to introduce evidence of Baldwin's producer role. "I'm having real difficulty with the state's position that they want to show, as a producer, he didn't follow guidelines and therefore, as an actor, Mr. Baldwin did all these things wrong, resulting in the death of Halyna Hutchins because as a producer he allowed this all to happen," Judge Sommer stated. She further noted that Baldwin was not the sole producer, implying that mentioning his role could unfairly suggest he was the only authority on set. "I'm denying evidence of his status as a producer," she concluded. The judge's rulings on other motions included partial approval regarding Baldwin's prior handling of firearms, allowing photos but excluding instances of him rushing the crew. Additionally, a motion to exclude a defense witness was denied despite the prosecution's claims of late disclosure and lack of pretrial interview opportunities. The court ruled that the witness would be available for a pretrial interview. Court documents shed light on the prosecution's case, portraying Baldwin as the "most experienced member of all the cast and crew," who missed the initial firearms training and was inattentive during a separate session with armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed. They allege Baldwin spent the training time on his phone and making videos of himself shooting the gun. As jury selection begins, both sides are keenly aware of the high-profile nature of the case. "Jury selection is important in every case but critically important here," noted Neama Rahmani, a former federal prosecutor. He emphasized the need to screen potential jurors for biases related to gun safety, rights, and celebrity status. Despite the serious charges, Rahmani does not foresee Baldwin being jailed if convicted. "The New Mexico manslaughter statute carries an 18-month maximum sentence, with no minimum," Rahmani explained. He pointed out that Baldwin's defense could argue for leniency by comparing his culpability to that of assistant director Dave Halls, who received probation for his role in the incident.

In a surprising turn of events, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer ordered a temporary recess in Alec Baldwin's pretrial hearing. This came after a contentious debate between the prosecution and Baldwin's defense team over redacted documents provided to the defense. "The court is not happy with this," Judge Sommer declared before announcing a one-hour recess, adding, "I'll see what's going to happen." The documents in question were related to an Inspection of Public Records Act request filed by Baldwin's defense team, which they claim included emails and witness statements that were fully redacted. The prosecution countered, stating that the blacked-out portions were communications between prosecutors and paralegals, to which the defense was not entitled. The motions being heard include critical decisions about what evidence, testimony, and arguments will be permissible in front of the jury. One significant motion filed by Baldwin's legal team sought to exclude his role as a producer from consideration, arguing that it was irrelevant to the allegations of negligence. The prosecution, however, maintained that Baldwin's producer role contributed to his reckless behavior, potentially endangering the safety of others. In a decisive ruling, Judge Sommer denied the motion to introduce evidence of Baldwin's producer role. "I'm having real difficulty with the state's position that they want to show, as a producer, he didn't follow guidelines and therefore, as an actor, Mr. Baldwin did all these things wrong, resulting in the death of Halyna Hutchins because as a producer he allowed this all to happen," Judge Sommer stated. She further noted that Baldwin was not the sole producer, implying that mentioning his role could unfairly suggest he was the only authority on set. "I'm denying evidence of his status as a producer," she concluded. The judge's rulings on other motions included partial approval regarding Baldwin's prior handling of firearms, allowing photos but excluding instances of him rushing the crew. Additionally, a motion to exclude a defense witness was denied despite the prosecution's claims of late disclosure and lack of pretrial interview opportunities. The court ruled that the witness would be available for a pretrial interview. Court documents shed light on the prosecution's case, portraying Baldwin as the "most experienced member of all the cast and crew," who missed the initial firearms training and was inattentive during a separate session with armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed. They allege Baldwin spent the training time on his phone and making videos of himself shooting the gun. As jury selection begins, both sides are keenly aware of the high-profile nature of the case. "Jury selection is important in every case but critically important here," noted Neama Rahmani, a former federal prosecutor. He emphasized the need to screen potential jurors for biases related to gun safety, rights, and celebrity status. Despite the serious charges, Rahmani does not foresee Baldwin being jailed if convicted. "The New Mexico manslaughter statute carries an 18-month maximum sentence, with no minimum," Rahmani explained. He pointed out that Baldwin's defense could argue for leniency by comparing his culpability to that of assistant director Dave Halls, who received probation for his role in the incident.

Nearly three years after the tragic incident on the set of "Rust," actor Alec Baldwin is set to stand trial for involuntary manslaughter. The shooting resulted in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza. Baldwin was rehearsing with a prop gun on October 21, 2021, at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe County, New Mexico, when the gun went off, killing Hutchins and wounding Souza. Baldwin has consistently maintained that he did not pull the trigger, stating in multiple interviews that the gun misfired. "I was taking direction from Hutchins and pulled the hammer back as far as I could without cocking it," Baldwin told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos. However, FBI testing of the .45-caliber Colt prop revolver indicated that the gun would not have discharged without the trigger being pulled. Baldwin's attorneys recently argued that the firearm was damaged during forensic testing, but their motion to dismiss the case was denied. Initially, Baldwin faced charges of involuntary manslaughter and a firearm enhancement charge, the latter of which was eventually dropped, reducing his potential prison sentence by five years. In March 2023, special prosecutor Andrea Reed stepped down, and Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies resigned from the case. Special prosecutors Kari T. Morrissey and Jason Lewis were appointed to take over. In April 2023, the charges against Baldwin were dismissed due to "new facts in the case," according to prosecutors. However, they noted that this did not absolve Baldwin of criminal culpability, and the charges could be refiled. Over the following months, the special prosecutors continued to investigate. In October 2023, Baldwin and the prosecutors discussed a potential plea deal, but it was rescinded. In January 2024, a New Mexico grand jury indicted Baldwin on one count of involuntary manslaughter. Baldwin's attorneys, Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro, stated, "We look forward to our day in court." Following Baldwin's indictment, SAG-AFTRA, the union representing over 150,000 actors, criticized the decision to re-charge him. The film's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was also charged with involuntary manslaughter and tampering with evidence. She was found guilty in April and is serving an 18-month jail sentence. Gutierrez-Reed asserted her Fifth Amendment right during a pretrial interview in May, and it is unclear if she will testify at Baldwin's trial. Assistant director Dave Halls, who pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of negligent use of a deadly weapon, is expected to testify. Baldwin has maintained that Halls declared the gun "cold," indicating it had no live ammunition before handing it to him. Prosecutors have accused Baldwin of providing contradictory versions of events. "Every time Mr. Baldwin spoke, a different version of events emerged," stated a court filing from the special prosecutors this spring. The trial, beginning with jury selection, is expected to last about two weeks. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The case is compared to the recent trial of Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the armorer found guilty of related charges. Motta emphasizes the responsibility of the armorer in ensuring no live rounds are on set and questions whether actors should also bear this responsibility.

Motta suggests that Baldwin's decision to fire the weapon, despite it not being required for the scene, will be scrutinized, as will the overall safety standards on the set.

Alec Baldwin involuntary Manslaughter trial to begin in New Mexico. A New Mexico judge has ruled that actor Alec Baldwin's indictment will stand in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of his film Rust. In an order on Friday, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer turned down a motion by Baldwin's attorneys to dismiss the indictment. Baldwin therefore remains scheduled to go on trial in July for involuntary manslaughter. Nearly three years ago, during a rehearsal for a scene in the Western movie on a ranch outside Santa Fe, Baldwin was holding the prop gun that had been loaded with live ammunition. The Colt .45 revolver went off, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza. Baldwin, who was also a producer for the film, pleaded not guilty, and has maintained he was not responsible for Hutchins' death. Shortly after the shooting, he told ABC News he had "no idea" how a live bullet got onto the set of his film, but that he "didn't pull the trigger." In March, a jury found the film's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, guilty of involuntary manslaughter and negligent use of a firearm. She's now serving an 18-month prison sentence. The New Mexico Environment Department's Occupational Health and Safety Bureau issued a citation against Rust Movie Productions and fined them for failures that led to Hutchins' "avoidable death."
Actor Alec Baldwin has been indicted again, charged with involuntary manslaughter by New Mexico prosecutors in the death cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The shooting on set during the production of the film, "Rust." Baldwin was allegedly four feet from the crew on set in a mock church pew when he used his right hand to reach across his body to grab the gun holstered on his left side. He was reportedly aiming the gun toward cinematographer Halyna Hutchins when he drew back the hammer and released it. The bullet first went through director Joel Souza's shoulder before striking Hutchins in the chest, killing her. Ever since the shooting death of Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust, Alec Baldwin has claimed he didn't pull the trigger. Even after an FBI report contradicting Baldwin's account of the shooting saying the trigger had to have been pulled for the gun to fire, Baldwin still says he didn't pull the trigger. The FBI report says their testing proves the gun could not be made to fire without the pull of the trigger. Accidental discharge testing determined that the firearm used in the shooting -- a .45 Colt single-action revolver -- could not have fired without the trigger being pulled. The FBI Report also says, With the hammer in the quarter- and half-cock and fully cocked positions, the gun "could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger. Alec Baldwin says he didn't pull the trigger The armorer for the film Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was also charged and she has been convicted and sentenced on manslaughter charges. In recorded Jailhouse phone calls Gutierrez-Reed blasts the jurors calling them "idiots" and "A-Holes". Prosecutors say the jailhouse recordings show how she really is outside of court. Gutierrez-Reed wants Alex Baldwin to go to jail too and says she won't testify at his upcoming trial if subpoenaed.

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer in charge of the guns on the film "Rust," has been found guilty of manslaughter in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Hutchins was killed when star Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun during rehearsal loaded with live ammo instead of a blank round. Reports say first assistant director David Halls picked up one of the three prop guns that had been set up by armorer Hannah Gutierrez and yelled “cold gun.” "Cold gun" is industry slang meaning the gun did not contain live rounds. Halls gave the gun to Baldwin who was using the gun to rehearse a scene. The search warrant said Baldwin was aiming the weapon at the camera when he fired, striking Hutchins and Souza. Reports have surfaced that the weapon was used for target practice by crew members that morning. Gutierrez Reed faces up to 18 months in prison at sentencing in April. Baldwin has also been charged. His trial starts in July.
