Public filing alleges actor, charged with involuntary manslaughter, ‘shamelessly lied’ about the deadly shooting of cinematographer
New Mexico state prosecutors plan to argue that Alec Baldwin was unable to control his emotions on the set of Rust where cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed when a gun held by the actor went off – and that he “shamelessly lied” and changed his story about deadly shooting.
The 66-year-old actor is due to go on trial in July on a charge of involuntary manslaughter for his part in Hutchins’ death in Santa Fe. Baldwin has denied wrongdoing. But in a 32-page public filing released Monday, prosecutor Kari Morrissey alleged that the actor would shout and swear on the set, and his uncontrolled behavior had affected safety.
