Prop armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed has also been charged.
The movieโs assistant director, Dave Halls, who was cited in sheriff's reports as the person who handed the weapon to Baldwin and announced to the crew it was a โcold gun,โ signed a plea bargain with the DA for the charge of negligent use of a deadly weapon, accepting a suspended sentence and six months of probation.

If Baldwin was charged along with the rest of the production team for allowing the dangerous conditions to continue on the set which ultimately lead to the shooting, I would understand that.
However, charging him as the actor who had been handed a gun that had been left loaded by te armorer, the AD, and all the chucklefucks who had been playing around with the gun is just stupid.
Why wasn't the armorer charged?

This prosecution comes down to Baldwin's poor handling of the case in the media and his reputation as a temperamental asshole.

They essentially have to prove that he knew the gun was dangerous, and handled it recklessly. Thereโs no way he could know that, when he thought the gun was a prop.

It wasn't blank, it was supposed to have blanks in it, and on these old guns you can't necessarily tell just by looking briefly at the chamber whether it's loaded with a blank or live ammo. You have to take the cartridge out and check. An actor would NOT have had the experience to know by looking whether it was live or a blank. That is VERY SPECIFICALLY what the armorer and AD are for.
My guess is that the aforementioned chucklefucks were playing around with the gun, left live ammo in it, then both the armorer and the AD just glanced at the chamber instead of taking the blank out and examining it directly.

Real guns are always dangerous. Basic gun safety is you NEVER point a gun at someone and pull the trigger, EVER. This is why Baldwin was scrambling with his interview saying he didn't pull the trigger. He lied about this because he knew it would be considered reckless to assume a real gun is unloaded and fire it at someone.
Other actors have stated that when 'firing' a real gun at someone you always have the armorer show you it's not loaded.

-A single bullet killed cinematographer Helena Hutchins and wounded the film's director Joel Souza Alec Baldwin both an actor and producer on that movie was holding the gun when it fired.
-Baldwin claimed he never pulled the trigger.
-An FBI forensic report tells a very different story; it says the weapon could not have been fired without pulling the trigger.
-Alec Baldwin and the films armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed will each be charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Helena Hutchins on the film Santa Fe county set in 2021

[quote] Itโs not the actorโs job to know whether the gun is appropriately loaded or not.
Any responsible gun owner knows better than that.
โAll my career, without incident, Iโve relied on the safety experts [on set] to declare the gun safe and never had a problem,โ Baldwin said in 2022 at the Boulder International Film Festival. โAnd [then,] this happened.โ
That defense might fall short, experts said.
โRegardless of what the practice may be in the entertainment industry, and regardless of what the protocols are on Hollywood sets, thatโs not the law,โ Ahouraian said. โThe gun was in his hands. And if thereโs any possibility that you are handling something that could harm someone, then you have an obligation to handle it safely.โ
Joshua Kastenberg, a law professor at the University of New Mexico, noted Carmack-Altwies approached the case by scrutinizing the actions of everyone who handled the weapon and the live ammunition.
โEveryone in that chain of custody had some responsibility,โ Kastenberg said. โ๐โ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐โ๐๐๐๐๐ , ๐กโ๐ โ๐๐กโ๐ ๐๐๐ก ๐๐ฆ ๐๐๐โ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ข๐ ๐ก ๐๐๐๐ ๐โ๐ก ๐๐๐ฆ. ๐ผ๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ข ๐๐๐ โ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ข๐ ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ข๐ โ๐๐๐, ๐ฆ๐๐ข ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ก๐๐ฆ โ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ก๐ฆ ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ก๐ฆ ๐ฆ๐๐ข๐ ๐๐ข๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ .โ

r53 Except that this was Alec's production and he or someone else canceled the gun safety meeting that was scheduled for him and production staff. Also, many of the production crew had walked off the set THE SAME DAY to protest issues with production in general on set. Also, there are some stories floating around that there was some fucking around outside of production with the firearms (i.e. target practice, etc.). That last part is not verified, the other two points are.
The point is (and to go along with your analogy) he was the CEO IN CHARGE of airplane safety in general, and he failed at his job.

Very few criminal defendants tell the story of what happened in a TV interview. If nothing else, the defense may want to introduce it to show his denying ever pulling the trigger without his having to testify.

Well bust my balls, I assumed the charge against Baldwin, if convicted, wouldn't be severe, resulting in suspended prison time and a fine, like the assistant director got. After all, New Mexico wants to keep the movie revenue stream going and not scare people away by incarcerating famous actors. But then I read this:
Both charges are felonies typically carrying maximum penalties of 18 months in prison and a $5,000 fine. But, in this case, Carmack-Altwiesโs office has added a so-called firearm enhancement to the involuntary manslaughter in the commission of a lawful act charge, meaning anyone convicted of that count would be required to spend five years in prison.
FIVE YEARS in the slammer? What judge want's to be that guy?

I think most of the users on that sub are over the top when it comes to anger regarding the Baldwin family. There was a thread on there where someone wanted to contact the New Mexico's AG office. I wouldn't be surprised if they contacted the DA's office a bunch of times to whine about Alec and possibly Hilaria. I commented above about New Mexico's criminal justice system being a mess. I currently live in NM and I wouldn't be surprised if he Alec gets acquitted. The posters on r/hilaria are putting too much faith in the Santa Fe County DA's office and the sheriff's department. When the video of Alec being interviewed by two female detectives was released some of the people on the reddit sub where labeling the two cops "bad asses". I've watched the video a couple of times. The detectives didn't come as intelligent or "bad ass". I think the r/hilaria posters base their views on "bad ass women detectives" from shows like Law&Order, CSI, or the procedural cop shows. Competent detectives do exist, but the detectives who interviewed Alec aren't in that category.
Somewhere on one of the r/hilaria threads, a poster had the stupid theory that the sheriff's department arranged for those female detectives to interview because of Alec's difficult history with women. When I read that shit I rolled my eyes because there's no way a law enforcement agency in NM is going to have in depth knowledge of various actors' histories in the media. Also, in the video Alec wasn't rude to the detectives. I'm moving out of the New Mexico the next few months, but I'll still follow the case when it goes to trial and I'll be checking the r/hilaria forum to see how the nutsos spin the trial. If Alec walks, it will be interesting to see meltdowns on that sub. Knowing how they are they'll probably want to launch some loony campaign to try and get the governor involved or some other stupid shit.

This is the New Mexico definition of involuntary manslaughter...
"Manslaughter is the unlawful killing of a human being without malice. Involuntary manslaughter consists of manslaughter committed in the commission of an unlawful act not amounting to felony, or in the commission of a lawful act which might produce death in an unlawful manner or without due caution and circumspection."
Baldwin failing to practice the industry standard on set safety protocols and pointing a gun at someone, cocking it, then pulling the trigger, directly resulting in a woman being shot and killed? That seems to fit the definition of involuntary manslaughter. It doesn't read as due caution or circumspection to me. Especially given his role as a producer as well as actor. Malice isn't required for manslaughter.
I agree that my initial post came off as completely unhinged (and contained a glaring typo - MARY). I do not belong to the Hilaria reddit group, and you're right - she has nothing to do with this - I need to cool my jets.
That being said, I just keep thinking if someone shot and killed my sister or mother or close friend under these circumstances (I'm single and not into women, but let's even include a hypothetical female partner/wife), I would want the person charged and held responsible for her death. And his arrogant interviews while the investigation was pending, turning himself into the victim, saying he never pulled the trigger, blaming everyone else, taking no accountability... well that sure didn't help matters.
Is this an overly emotional take on the situation? Sure.
But looking at the legal definition of involuntary manslaughter? It seems like a case can certainly be made against him.

Iโve been listening to a YT lawyer & (for what itโs worth), sheโs saying that this will boil down to โBaldwin should not, under any circumstances, have pointed a gun at anyoneโ. The industry standard is that guns can be pointed at cameras provided that the crew are not present and are using monitors instead. There were no monitors that day because the crew had walked off due to safety concerns. It wonโt be about the ammo, but the act of pointing the gun at people.

When it happened, were they rehearsing a scene or actually filming something? Was he pointing the gun where he was supposed to be pointing it or was he just waving the gun around irresponsibly without looking? If he was just waving it around and accidentally pulled the trigger I can see how he'd be charged for that.

Alec Baldwin is guilty of running a shoddy set, skimping on safety, hiring a jackass as an armorer and pointing a gun at a woman and pulling the trigger.
His and his wife's behavior after he killed a woman is BEYOND DISGUSTING. The D.A was probably on the fence about this, but his behavior is what pushed her to file charges. Serves him fucking right too.

I found out something about how the law works regarding responsibility when I consulted a lawyer about suing an endodontist when he pulled the wrong tooth. When the attorney asked me who my general dentist was and I told him he huffed and puffed 'oh damn, he's our dentist.' I said, but I'm not suing HIM, he just sent me to the specialist because he wasn't sure what was going on and didn't want to make a mistake.. Lawyer explained that because he sent me to the other guy who fucked up he would probably get pulled in anyway, regardless of intent. I was aghast. This lawyer wouldn't even take the case because of that.
Baldwin needs to own up to his share of responsibility for what happened. If he had done so in the beginning the prosecutor probably wouldn't have added the extra charge

That is why when Brandon Lee was shot and killed, prosecutors in that case chose not to file charges. Because the gun went through so many different hands, it would next to impossible to single out one person.

And while it was 100% an accident, it still happened because of me. The ethically right thing to do is admit my fault in this.

This article says that the armorer has texts she sent before the shooting complaining that her workload was too heavy and that she was not able to adequately focus on gun safety.
And apparently it was that same day that some of the crew walked off and one of the gripes was about weapons being mishandled.
Iโm a little more sympathetic towards the armorer now and I donโt think the suggestion of sabotage is completely crazy. But both she and Baldwin would still bear some responsibility. It sounds like that set was a complete shit show.

Here is exactly what happened. I saw the first texts about this from the crew on Twitter and read all of them.
The first texts said she got shot. A little while later crew members had posted that the gun had accidentally discharged in the days leading up to the shooting. Then there other texts that day that said people had been using the gun for target practice during downtime. It was crew people that put the bullets there. I don't if they did it on purpose or weren't thinking, but that's who did it.
The FBI has said the gun didn't discharge, but that's not true. And there are actually texts between crew members in the days before the shooting discussing those accidental discharges. That's a fact. And the victim's husband is the one who showed the texts in a video recreation he had made by an accident recreation expert.
Alec going on NBC or whatever and saying he doesn't feel responsible is what led to these charges. It pissed the victim's husband off so bad. Then Alec and his wife making a spectacle of themselves all year long just added to it. The husband pushed and pushed for charges to be filed. And he's a very decent man, but not accepting responsibility was just too much for him.
He brought most of this on himself.

I know the FBI said that, but that doesn't take away from the fact that the gun had accidentally discharged in the days before she was shot. Crew members actually texted each other about the accidental discharges. Here are the texts here's a link to the re-creation and the texts in the first two minutes
L.Luper: we've now had 3 accidental discharges, this is super unsafe
K.Walter: accidental discharges on the firearms? sounds good
L.Luper: yeah, 2 accidental discharges today and 1 on week 1
The crew had also warned the producers that the set was "super unsafe" in an email/letter.
With a gun accidentally discharging, it never should have been used.

And the victim's husband said in an interview, Alec Baldwin saying he wasn't responsible outraged him. The parading around on social media just added to it, every day. It's Alec's own fault he got charged. Had he have kept a low profile and he & the wife stayed off social media, I don't think he'd have been charged.

The reason that Alec Baldwin was charged was because the police believe he lied about pulling the trigger. The FBI determined that there is no way that he did NOT pull the trigger and he has insisted that he did NOT pull the trigger. Baldwin will continue to insist, on his attorney's advice, that he did not pull the trigger. He will do so in order to create reasonable doubt. If the jury follows the normal jury instructions, in my humble opinion, they will acquit. While the negligence displayed on set gave rise to significant legal liability (and that is why the movie settled with the husband), the criminal burden of proof of beyond a reasonable doubt will be difficult to carry, as the gun had misfired.
The key fact will be whether a jury determines that raising the gun in the first place was reckless and likely to lead to bodily injury. In my humble opinion, a good lawyer can create enough reasonable doubt that a jury will have a hard time convicting solely based on the evidence of which we are aware at this time. The only thing that could put a finger on the scale in favor of the prosecution is if the jury dislikes him, whether because of his acting, his politics or his arrogance. The voir dire will be intense, if it goes to trial, and I think it will go to trial, because of reasonable doubt.

R230 I was just wondering the same thing. What Baldwin says is not just "I didn't pull the trigger" but "I would NEVER point a gun at somebody and pull the trigger". So why is that Alec? Because it would be reckless and show a disregard for human life, precisely what the criminal charge is accusing him of?
With this assertion Baldwin is confessing he does have a responsibility to know and follow basic gun safety rules.
I still don't think it's a slam dunk for the prosecution. They will have to get 12 people to agree that, even though unintentional, Baldwin should go to prison for his 'mistake'. At least some of the jurors might think "shit, I could see myself doing the same thing, give the guy a break."

The issue at trial will be whether he exercised โdue caution and circumspectionโ when he pointed the gun at her during a rehearsal, cocked it and pulled the trigger. Other lawyers can correct me if Iโm wrong, but based on the NM definition of involuntary manslaughter - it seems like that will be what the DA has to prove.
And Baldwinโs lawyers will say yes, he did exercise caution, itโs not his responsibility, he acted reasonably, etc.
But based on the equity rules and what people are saying about widely practiced, on set safety protocols for actors handling gunsโฆ might be difficult?
Intent is not the issue with involuntary manslaughter. Itโs a given that he acted without malice.
And if the FBI experts testify that the trigger had to have been pulledโฆ. will be hard for Baldwin to counter that. He is an actor though, so he would know how to put on a show for a jury and persuade them.

Joy Behar floated a bizarre conspiracy theory on Friday, suggesting Alec Baldwin being charged for the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins may be politically motivated.
Baldwin is being charged for the accidental shooting of Hutchins in October 2021 on the New Mexico Rust film set. Baldwin, also a producer on the movie, has repeatedly insisted he deserves no blame and pointed his finger at other experts on the set of the film.
Behar referred to the district attorney charging Baldwin a โbig Republican,โ a point that was met with immediate pushback from her View co-hosts.
Behar defended Baldwin after Santa Fe district attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies announced Baldwin would be charged. The district attorney also rejected Baldwinโs previous claim that he never pulled the trigger of the weapon.
โSheโs a big Republican,โ Behar said of the the DA. โIโm only saying this because Alec Baldwin is a target for Republicans. They cannot stand him.โ
Regardless, Beharโs argument earned immediate scoffs from co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin and Rachel Lindsay. Behar threw her hands up before she could hear a word either of them said and declared, โIโm not saying anything more than that!โ
Lindsay, who is an attorney, argued Baldwin holds some blame for the shooting, pointing to an interview with fellow actor ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ถ๐๐๐๐๐๐ฆ ๐คโ๐๐๐ โ๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ โ๐ ๐๐๐ค๐๐ฆ๐ ๐โ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐ค๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ข๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ โ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ก ๐๐ ๐ ๐ ๐๐ก. ๐โ๐ ๐ท๐ด ๐๐๐๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐ฆ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ค๐๐กโ ๐๐กโ๐๐ ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ข๐ก โ๐๐ค ๐กโ๐๐ฆ ๐ก๐ฆ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฆ โ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ก.
Behar defended Baldwin earlier in the show, dismissing criticism of him as a producer on the movie, claiming he was only a โcreativeโ producer. She cited her own history in film to claim that an actor can only think about one thing on a set, and itโs apparently not safety.
โAs a person who has been in a couple of movies, all youโre thinking of is your part when youโre an actor,โ she said. Youโre not worried โ I was not worried that my brassiere is going to fall off me or whatever. Somebody else has to worry about that.โ
๐ช๐๐๐๐๐๐-๐จ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐. Behar corrected herself later in the show and said she got the district attorney mixed up with Andrea Reeb who assisted in the Baldwin investigation as a special prosecutor. She now serves in the New Mexico House of Representatives and is a Republican.

I know a lot of people on here are saying, as if it's proven fact, that this is why the FBI suggested he be prosecuted, but that's not verified and I'm not sure it's even plausible, because it would be trivially easy for any halfway competent attorney to make a plausible case that an inexperienced person fumbled or mishandled the gun and pulled the trigger without realizing it.
Prosecuting all three -- the armorer, the AD, and the actor who had the gun -- makes these charges make more sense than I initially thought, but unless they have something to indicate Baldwin knew the gun was loaded or acted deliberately recklessly, the charges against him seem misguided. If they're charging him because he was a producer, then the other producers are also responsible, as many others on here have said.

It was I who suggested that the FBI has said unequivocally that the gun's trigger was pulled, it did not go off accidentally. That is not why I think that the DA is prosecuting. Baldwin will have to maintain that he did not pull the trigger. That is what creates reasonable doubt.
I'm a lawyer. I believe that this case will boil down to whether it was "reasonable" or "reckless" of him to pull the gun up in the first place. We have all been told not to point a weapon at someone even when we assume it is not loaded. I don't even have a gun and I know that. They were not shooting a scene, which would require the shields and choreography. He was goofing and pulled the gun out and pointed it at someone. He's going to lose on this element of the crime.
If I were his lawyer, I would be weighing whether I thought I could make a cogent argument that, somehow, goofing with a gun that one thinks is not loaded is better than lying about pulling a trigger. One is negligence; the other shows deliberate disregard. I would argue, as hard as I could, that my client was negligent because it's the only thing that gets the client out of the lie he may have told about pulling the trigger.
And, finally, the jury selection will be critical. I cannot think of one demographic that will like Alec Baldwin, except maybe fraus and even they, I have to believe, are fairly disgusted with the dozens of crotch balls littered around his house. He comes across as entitled, arrogant and dismissive. He isn't a good enough actor to overcome his own hubris. Any gun nut that might like him will hate him for being a loud-mouthed liberal. All things considered, I'd plead this out as fast as you could say, "pay me my retainer."

Itโs easy to make claims about what you would do in someone elseโs shoes, but I feel like if I killed someone I would be willing to accept that I deserved formal, legal punishment in addition to all the other fallout. And from a PR perspective, I think Baldwin would have come out better.
If he had just said, โIโm not sure what happened. I know I was told the gun was cold and I relied overly on that and proceeded to act thoughtlessly. I donโt remember pulling the trigger, but I know I wasnโt treating the gun as a potentially deadly weapon.โ
Whatโs the worst that happens? He pleads down to something that gets him six months as a celebrity in a low security prison? That sounds better than six months under Covid lockdown with an annoying spouse and three kids under 10 doing โonline school.โ And a lot of people did what they needed to and survived that.

r278 then you might skim over film laws citations.. even without the gun stuff, Alec is one of the principle producers of this production as well as having taken on other culpable roles in the production that it ultimately falls to being under his supervision and responsibility. Too many people seem under the impression he was just an actor on set. And he's been trying to push that in the public spotlight as if he's a school marm that just volunteered for a pta event where a tragedy happened. . . that everyone else is responsible. He's trying for a good faith defense and shifting blame.,
r279 He likely didn't because that would open him up to civil suits, and not only related to this specific case. Once you admit culpability, it's a stain on your permanent record -- mostly because juries don't understand the legal rammifications of no contest pleas (which would have been the better out on paper). And with civil suits, even as frivolous as they may be, it will always be brought up as history. . . past events could be opened by this as well as all future endeavors. Celebrities as much as they abuse the civil system, themselves, worry about it far more than the criminal.
(also, there are leftwing and both side trolls gun nuts... to which the right is really no better on the issues. Most gun "nuts" believe in practical laws, not hyperbolic extremes in either direction. But this is neither here nor there.)

[quote]but unless they have something to indicate Baldwin knew the gun was loaded or acted deliberately recklessly, the charges against him seem misguided.
He doesnโt have to know the gun was loaded, merely pointing it at someone and pulling the trigger is reckless enough to substantiate the charges.

She has an orgasm every time she gets to go out and act all pissed off that the paps are swarming for her (finally!). There is a back entrance (the one Alec snuck out of) that she could use and not have the kids exposed to the paps. Better yet, they could retreat to their Vermont estate and do distance learning for awhile until the furor dies down. Or their Hampton estate. But no, they stay put and she's eating up all the attention. And the Espana accent is just ridiculous.

R302, well, presumably he wanted all those kids, as it would have been quite easy to prevent those pregnancies if he and/or his wife wanted to. Which, of course, brings up the other issue of how crazy and what a narcissist he is to father so many children so late in life.

Alec will probably start to do what most other old rich famous men do when they get in serious trouble for harming women and/or children. He'll pretend to be blind, pretend to have dementia, or suddenly come down with a serious condition to evoke pity and for his lawyer to legally show he can't be held responsible or stand trial.
