Alec Baldwin cleared of all charges in a tragic movie "Rust" shooting

The case of Alec Baldwin, accused of involuntary manslaughter of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, has come to an end. The actor's case has just been dismissed. The 66-year-old movie star couldn't hide his emotions after hearing the verdict.

The tragic accident, which occurred on the set of the film "Rust," was reported by the media around the world. The unfortunate incident took place in October 2021, during the filming of scenes for the production, when Alec Baldwin accidentally fatally shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza. The actor did not hide that he was deeply affected by the whole situation.

Alec Baldwin repeatedly emphasized that he was not aware that the gun, which was a prop during the filming of scenes for the western, was loaded with live ammunition. As we wrote some time ago, the case of the accidental shooting of the cinematographer by the American actor ultimately found its conclusion in court. The 66-year-old faced eighteen months in prison.

After nearly three years, a verdict was reached. On Friday, a New Mexico court dismissed the case of involuntary manslaughter of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins by Alec Baldwin. In a separate proceeding, the person found guilty of involuntary manslaughter was determined. It was 26-year-old Hannah Gutierrez-Reed who was responsible for the guns on set during the film production.

The court's decision was an extremely emotional moment for Alec Baldwin. Footage and photos from the court have already appeared in the media. In the materials shared online, the 66-year-old actor can be seen bursting into tears. He also leaned into his wife, who accompanied him that day in court. According to international media, however, the star refused to comment.
