On Thursday, actor Alec Baldwin saw all of his charges dropped against him in the death of ‘Rust’ producer Halyna Hutchins, according to Baldwin’s lawyers.
”We are pleased with the decision to dismiss the case against Alec Baldwin and we encourage a proper investigation into the facts and circumstances of the tragic accident,” Baldwin’s lawyers said in a statement, as reported by ABC News.
As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, the Hollywood actor shot and killed Hutchins in October 2021 while filming the movie “Rust.” Baldwin, who was given a weapon that was accidentally loaded, was practicing a scene when the weapon fired. He has claimed that he did not pull the trigger.

In an NBC interview in late 2021, Baldwin claimed that “I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them, never. Someone put a live bullet in a gun, a bullet that wasn’t even supposed to be on the property.”
Baldwin was initially charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter by the New Mexico district attorney after Baldwin shot Hutchins in October 2021.
