Although the FBI has finally determined that Alec Baldwin pulled the trigger on the gun that killed Halyna Hutchins on the set of “Rust”, it is still known that it was an accident, that the actor thought the weapon was props and that there should be no real bullets on the entire set. Prosecutors have not yet made a decision on the charges. The incident took place in October 2021 and obviously since then Baldwin has had to deal with the many consequences it had for the cinematographer’s family and for him and his career.
In statements on CNN, the actor confessed that he came to fear for his life and his own safety afterwards, mainly due to some comments from Donald Trump: “The former US president said I probably shot him on purpose. For me, [esa fue] the only time I thought about it … that I worried about what was going to happen to me. Because here was Trump, who instructed people to commit acts of violence and pointed the finger at me saying that I was responsible for the death. I got a thousand percent nervous about the group of people who were ordained to the Capitol by the former president and killed a law enforcement officer. They killed someone. And I thought some of those people might come and kill me. “
The enmity that exists between the two is well known. Baldwin has always criticized Trump and in fact parodied him on numerous occasions on ‘Saturday Night Live’ (more than 40 times collected by IMdB).
In search of the truth
And on the other side of the story, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the “Rust” gunsmith responsible for the gun that killed Hutchins, is awaiting a decision from the Santa Fe Sheriff’s Office on whether to file a complaint against her. . . In what appears to be a preemptive defense move, Gutierrez-Reed accused the New Mexico police of doing shoddy work: “The main problem in this case from the start was Where did the real bullets that ended up on the set of “Rust” come from? As can be seen from the attached emails, the sheriff’s office consciously decided not to go into this question by refusing to ask the FBI to test ammunition for fingerprints or DNA. Now we know for sure that there were real bullets on the set. “
Gutierrez-Reed then insists on his innocence and thinks someone brought the ammunition to the set. Investigators from the sheriff’s office have decided not to print any of the props. because, being a crowded shoot, the objects would have been manipulated over and over again by many people and it wouldn’t make sense for them to receive such a lot of corrupt information, however, Gutierrez-Reed reiterates: “It is inconceivable that the sheriff is not looking for answers to this fundamental question and it poses a serious problem to the whole investigation. We have searched for this answer for a long time and will not give up looking for the truth to find it.”.
