Alec Baldwin said he owes \u2018everything\u2019 to his wife Hilaria minutes after the actor\u2019s lawyers said his \u2018Rust\u2019 shooting charges were being dropped<\/p>\n
The 65-year-old \u201830 Rock\u2019 star has been facing a charge of involuntary manslaughter over the death of mum-of-one Halyna Hutchins, 42, who was killed on the set of the western in October 2021 when a prop gun he was holding went off struck the cinematographer, which he has strongly denied firing.<\/p>\n
But Alec\u2019s legal team said on Thursday (20.04.23) they were \u201cpleased\u201d to hear the allegations against the actor in connection with the tragedy were being dismissed, and within an hour of their claim being reported, the actor had posted an image of him cuddling his 39-year old wife, who is mum to seven of his eight children, at a restaurant, which he captioned: \u201cI owe everything I have to this woman.\u201d<\/p>\n
In an apparent reference to one of his lawyers, Alec added: \u201cAnd to you, Luke.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deadline reported on Thursday (20.04.23) special prosecutors Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis are expected to file paperwork soon to dismiss the involuntary manslaughter claims against multi-Emmy-winning Alec \u201cwithout prejudice\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nAlec\u2019s attorneys Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro then said in a statement to the outlet: \u201cWe are pleased with the decision to dismiss the case against Alec Baldwin, and we encourage a proper investigation into the facts and circumstances of this tragic accident.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nDeadline said representatives for the Santa Fe\u2019s District Attorney\u2019s office had no comment on the situation when contacted on Thursday.<\/p>\n
\nAlec and armorer Hannah Gutteriez-Reed had been facing a two-week preliminary hearing in the case due to begin on 3 May but the actor had already obtained a waiver and does not have to appear in person.<\/p>\n
\nThe director of \u2018Rust\u2019 Joel Souza, 49, was also wounded in the shooting, but no charges were filed in relation to his injuries.<\/p>\n
\nAlec arrived in Montana on Wednesday night to resume filming on \u2018Rust\u2019 and has adamantly denied ever pulling the gun\u2019s trigger, pleading not guilty in February to the accidental killing of Halyna.<\/p>\n
\nProsecutors argued \u201cphotos and videos clearly show Baldwin, multiple times, with his finger inside the trigger guard and on the trigger\u201d ahead of the tragedy.<\/p>\n
\nThe actor was originally facing up to five years in prison, which was later dropped to 18 months.<\/p>\n
\nA source recently told The Wall Street Journal there was new evidence suggesting the gun could have been fired without pulling the trigger.<\/p>\n
\nThe FBI had dismissed Alec\u2019s claim that he did not pull the trigger, but the insider insisted the gun was modified before it reached the \u2018Rust\u2019 set in New Mexico to allow it to fire a bullet without the trigger being pulled.<\/p>\n
\nCharges against armorer Hannah, who provided the fatal weapon, remain and she is having no further part in the making of \u2018Rust\u2019, but director Joel will be returning to finish the project.<\/p>\n
\nA judge has sealed from public view the terms of a civil settlement between Alec and her widower Matthew, and his and Halyna\u2019s 11-year-old son Andros.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
