The family of slain Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins has officially filed a wrongful-death lawsuit over the on-set shooting by Alec Baldwin that took the filmmaker’s life last October in New Mexico.
“Halyna Hutchins deserved to live, and the Defendants had the power to prevent her death if they had only held sacrosanct their duty to protect the safety of every individual on a set where firearms were present instead of cutting corners on safety procedures where human lives were at stake, rushing to stay on schedule and ignoring numerous complaints of safety violations,” declares the complaint against star/producer Baldwin, a slew of production companies and entities, producers. Also named are some key crew members, such as armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed and Assistant Director David Halls., who have both been at the center of the October 21, 2021 tragic incident.
“This lawsuit seeks justice for the losses of her survivors and to hold responsible those who caused her tragic death,” the 29-page filing from Albuquerque firm McGinn Montoya Love & Curry says (read it here).
“Defendant Baldwin, the Producers, and the Rust Production Companies were aware of firearms safety issues that had occurred on the set of Rust and did not take action to correct the situation and ensure that basic gun safety rules were followed on October 21, 2021,” the suit goes on to say. “Had Defendant Baldwin, the Producers, and the Rust Production Companies taken adequate precautions to ensure firearm safety on the set of Rust or if basic firearm safety rules had been followed on the set of Rust on October 21, 2021, Halyna Hutchins would be alive and well, hugging her husband and nine-year old son.”

Pretty much knew this was coming, just a matter of when.
yep, meanwhile, where is the criminal indictment? The NM AG must be following the Durham model for investigating crime.
Stupid F**k better keep his checkbook handy.
Interesting. Confirms how we thought it all played out
Baldwin pointed a real gun, loaded or not, at the crew with the hammer pulled back and his finger on the trigger
Big time no no in ANY situation
He’ll pay with money, but won’t pay with jail time.
He is the liberal elite.
I want to know why he hasn’t been charged with negligent homocide?
Some parts of the animated video are pretty gruesome.
Alec Baldwin committed an act of negligent homicide and he’s getting away with it.
bump- he ignored 15 industry standards, and refused training on how to cross draw- why? Likely because he is a knowi-it-all- and that resulted in a woman’s death and injury to a man
Alec Baldwin should have checked the gun himself. Alec Baldwin should never have pointed the gun in her direction. If he had done these two things, she would still be alive. If anybody who speaks against guns had any sense, they would have done these two things.
Equal Justice for All. Always inspect any weapon you receive. Baldwin is not special. Negligent Homicide.
Thanks. The 29 page document and clear video are clear: Baldwin is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Excellent work by McGinn Montoya Love & Curry.
That re-enactment explains several things to me. I had a difficult time picturing how such a thing could happen. It appears at minimum that Baldwin is guilty of involuntary manslaughter.
