Baldwin has denied pulling the trigger of the prop gun that fired on the 'Rust' set in 2021, killing the film's cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins.
Alec Baldwin could again face charges in"Rust" shooting as new gun analysis says"trigger had to be pulled"A new forensics report on the gun that discharged on the set of the film"Rust" in New Mexico in 2021,Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza, alleges that Alec Baldwin pulled the trigger.
The report, dated Aug. 2, was prepared by firearms expert Lucian Haag and forensics consultant Michael Haag for Santa Fe County special prosecutors Kari T. Morrissey and Jason J. Lewis, court filings show. The report appears in a motion filed Tuesday by attorneys for"Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who is still facing an involuntary manslaughter charge in connection with the fatal shooting. She has pleaded not guilty in the case, which is scheduled to go to trial this December.
"This decision does not absolve Mr. Baldwin of criminal culpability and charges may be refiled," the statement read. "Although Alec Baldwin repeatedly denies pulling the trigger, given the tests, findings and observations reported here, the trigger had to be pulled or depressed sufficiently to release the fully cocked or retracted hammer of the evidence revolver," Lucien Haag wrote in the report, which suggests that roughly 2 pounds of force on the trigger is necessary in order for the gun to discharge.
