Alec Baldwin was found not guilty of murdering camerawoman Galina Hutchins, but the case is still pending. The actor is facing new charges.
After the verdict, prosecutors cannot file new charges against her, but Galina Hutchins’ parents do not intend to give up their claims. The husband of the cameraman, Matthew Hutchins, who previously resolved all issues with the film company, plans to file a new lawsuit. The truth is that the producers of “Rust” did not pay her the compensation they agreed on in October 2022, writes the Hollywood reporter.
Let’s recall that on October 21, 2021, cameraman Galina Hutchins was killed on the set of the movie “Rust”. The gun was in the hands of actor Alec Baldwin. Instead of a blank cartridge, it contained a live cartridge.
Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the prop manager for Rust who loaded the gun, is already serving time in the case. She is now seeking to have the verdict overturned after Baldwin was acquitted. Assistant director Dave Halls, who handed the deadly weapon to the actor, was also given a suspended sentence.
It is still unknown where the live cartridge came from on the set. Also, the gun fired during the investigative experiment was destroyed. The prosecution lawyer in this case resigned without waiting for the hearing
