Alec Baldwin could be facing criminal charges in connection to the fatal 'Rust' shooting -- because the D.A. is asking New Mexico for help in financing several potential prosecutions.
District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies reportedly filed an emergency request last week, asking the New Mexico Board of Finance for extra funds to assist in bringing up to four possible criminal cases that may materialize from her office's investigation into the death of Halyna Hutchins.
Carmack-Altwies got half of what she wanted -- according to the Santa Fe New Mexican, she was awarded $317,000 in relief ... although she had asked for $635k -- which is what her office estimated it would cost to handle the would-be cases.
The D.A. has since said that she'll be seeking the remainder of the dough through a special appropriation request -- which suggests she may actually need the full amount to bring any charges related to the fatal incident on the 'Rust' set.
Now, while the D.A. isn't definitively naming names in any potential charges -- her office is explicitly saying Baldwin could be on the chopping block. The docs they filed, cited by SFNM, reportedly say ... "One of the possible defendants is well known movie actor Alec Baldwin."

It’s about time........................
Kudos if she does make it happen - it will be in an environment of fierce resistance from people who are very comfortable in the two-tier justice system and intend it to be kept that way.
Maybe, maybe not. Our “public servants” are experts at using “emergencies” and “extraordinary events” to gouge more money from taxpayers.
Eh its gonna be a slap on the wrist, he’s a commie, commies always and I mean ALWAYS get away with it..meanwhile, lil old ladies taking selfies are still in solitary
Should have been done day 1.
I was on a break on pre-production 2-3 weeks back and was just talking to a dude who worked with him on a set AFTER the Rust set murder. All the co-stars were talking to him like he was dead man walking. They know he’s a prick. It’s like talking to a co-worker in the office that you dont like but you have to for harmony’s sake.
I hope the NBC Saturday Night Livers do a skit about this. They could make it really funny if they hired President Trump to play Alec Baldwin in the skit.
Agreed. Bruce Jenner never served a single day of prison time for the woman he killed when he ran into her car with his SUV.
I’m so sick and tired of Harveywood stars who think they’re special and above the law. He needs to spend the rest of his life in jail with no parole.
It’s been almost a year since the shooting.
She better have an airtight case by now.
She’s gonna need it.
Because what happened was a criminal offense, so this should be expected.
Yep. He’ll get a misdemeanor charge at best. Only the peons will get hanged.
Probably won’t be a murder charge, but I think this was a Columbo style murder on his part.
He’s always been a violent psychopath.
He started fights with conservatives at public events. Called for lynching murder of Henry Hyde and his family on the Letterman show (to cheers from the audience).
Why no forensics on the bullets and/or casings....or are they just keeping it under their vest.
And his idiot of a brother William Baldwin threatened a young Trump supporter on twitter calling him a member of the Hitler youth.
Nothing to see here - move along...
Was the director of photography, Halyna Hutchins, aware the ballistic shields were not in place? Yes.
Did the director of photography, Halyna Hutchins, aware that loaded guns were on set and ballistic shields were not in place, direct Alec Baldwin to point a handgun at her? Apparently, yes.
Did the director of photography, Halyna Hutchins, aware that loaded guns were on set and ballistic shields were not in place, direct Alec Baldwin to point a handgun at her and pull the trigger? Hmmm.
Questions to Alec Baldwin
"Have you ever handled a loaded firearm before?"
"Did you check the pistol to see if it was loaded before aiming it?"
"Were you aware there were loaded guns on the set?"
"Were you aware of the rule of gun safety to never let the muzzle cover anything you're not willing to destroy?"
"Were you aware of the rule of gun safety to keep you finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target?"
"Were you aware of the rule of gun safety to identify your target and what is behind it?"
"Were you aware there were no ballistic shields in place while you were practicing the scene?"
"...and you pulled the trigger anyway?"
Yawn…
