Alec Baldwin lost control on 'Rust' set and lied about his actions, prosecutors say
Alec Baldwin lost control of his emotions on set, put others in danger and changed his story in the aftermath of the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on a movie set in New Mexico in 2021, prosecutors said in new court documents.
Alec Baldwin lost control of his emotions on set, put others in danger and changed his story in the aftermath of the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on a movie set in New Mexico in 2021, prosecutors said in new court documents.
Baldwin was making “Rust” at Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe when a gun he was holding fired a live round and killed Hutchins, 42. He was indicted by a grand jury on a charge of manslaughter in January and pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors accused Baldwin of “frequently screaming and cursing at himself, at crew members,” and of losing control.
“To watch Mr. Baldwin’s conduct on the set of ‘Rust’ is to witness a man who has absolutely no control of his emotions and absolutely no concern for how his conduct effects those around him,” said papers prosecutors filed in First Judicial District Court in Santa Fe.
The filing Friday was in response to Baldwin’s team’s request to dismiss the charge over concerns that testimony was “unfairly stacking the deck” against him.
