Baldwin claims that he is not to blame for the shooting in Rust.

Alec Baldwin doesn’t think he’ll face criminal charges for the death of Halyna Hutchins on the Rust set.

Baldwin told CNN, “I hired a private investigator,” later adding, “These last ten months have ripped years off my life.”

With the gun that killed Halyna on October 21, Baldwin was practicing. The.45 Colt could not have been fired without someone pushing the trigger, according to an FBI forensic assessment made public last week.

Additionally mentioned was the discovery of 150 live rounds of ammunition on the scene. The Western movie’s producer, Baldwin, has repeatedly insisted that he never fired the shot.

The actor emphasized to CNN that Hannah Gutierrez Reed, who worked as the film’s armorer and props assistant, and assistant director Dave Halls are both accountable for Halyna’s passing. Dave Halls gave the actor the gun and pronounced it to be “cold,” indicating it was empty of live ammunition.

Why wasn’t that bullet checked by [Gutierrez Reed]? What made Halls disobey her? Baldwin enquired. “Why did he hand me the firearm? What made him not check? Why did he inform the crew that the pistol was cold?

Baldwin’s private investigator’s findings support his conclusion that no one will face criminal charges. Prosecutors in Santa Fe County haven’t said how they’re approaching their inquiry.

Baldwin declared, “I’m very sure neither of them should ever work in a film set again.” “I genuinely think [investigators] will conclude that this was an accident. It’s terrible.

Not wanting to “condemn” Gutierrez Reed, the actor said.

Baldwin said, “I mean, maybe it’s the Catholic in me. “I feel compelled to declare that I don’t want to see anyone suffer. I don’t want to say, “Go grab her and condemn her,” while I’m sitting here.

According to Halls and Gutierrez Reed’s attorneys, Baldwin is attempting to divert attention away from himself.

Baldwin continued by saying that the injury has caused him to lose five jobs in less than a year.

He added, “I was fired from another job yesterday. “There I was, all ready to board a plane, go to the movies. These folks and I have been chatting for months, and yesterday they told me that due to this, they don’t want to work with you on the film.

Many have commented on the tragedy, including former president Donald Trump, who claimed that Baldwin intentionally shot the cinematographer. The former cast member of 30 Rock claimed that statements like these made him fear for his life.

He declared, “There’s just this deluge of ignorant people attacking me. Baldwin said that his wife Hilaria, who is currently with their seventh child, has been his rock during this entire ordeal.

He said, “I don’t know where I would be right now if I didn’t have my wife.” Without her, I likely would have given up, retired, gone off, sold everything I owned, bought a house in the middle of nowhere, and just found something else to do, like sell real estate.

For Halyna’s family, Baldwin said he wanted to finish Rust because “we wanted to put the money in the kid’s pocket.” Halyna and Matt Hutchins had a little son together. For wrongful death, they are suing Baldwin and others. However, Matt previously referred to the actor’s belief that he is not accountable as “absurd.”

Baldwin continued, “Someone should have known better than to put a live round in the rifle.” “[Gutierrez Reed] was tasked with it. There weren’t supposed to be any live rounds on the set, therefore her task was to examine the ammunition and insert the dummy round or the blank round.

He said, “There are two persons that didn’t do what they were supposed to do. “I’m not sitting there saying I want their life to be miserable or that I want them to, you know, go to prison. Although I don’t want that, I do want everyone to be aware that those two are the ones to blame for what occurred.

Baldwin emphasized once more how terrible Halyna’s passing was.

“Someone died, and it could have been stopped. It was really pointless, he said. I consider that on a daily basis throughout my life.

Baldwin shared a section of the CNN interview explaining how the gun fired without the user pulling the trigger on social media.

This opening statement is the most crucial portion of the article. My claim that a cocked gun simply went off without pulling the trigger has never been made by anyone. Never once was the gun cocked. Never. Without cocking the gun, the hammer was pulled back as far as it would go. The gun fired when it was released,” Baldwin wrote.
