The charge is a fourth-degree felony, punishable by up to 18 months in jail and a $5,000 fine under New Mexico law. The charges also include a provision that could result in a mandatory five years in prison because the offence was committed with a gun.Carmack-Altwies said charges will be filed by the end of January, and that Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed will be issued a summons to appear in court.

It was unclear when Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed might be required to appear in state court in Santa Fe once charges are filed. Defendants can participate remotely in some initial court proceedings or ask to have their first appearance waived.Article content In his lawsuit, Baldwin said that while working on camera angles with Hutchins, he pointed the gun in her direction and pulled back and released the hammer of the weapon, which discharged.

The armourer who oversaw firearms on the set, Gutierrez-Reed, has been the subject of much of the scrutiny in the case, along with an independent ammunition supplier. An attorney for Gutierrez-Reed has said she did not put a live round in the gun that killed Hutchins, and she believes she was the victim of sabotage. Authorities said they found no evidence of that.

Alec Baldwin charged with involuntary manslaughter in Rust movie shootingA prosecutor on Thursday announced charges against Alec Baldwin and Rust’s armorer after more than a year of investigation into the October 2021 shooting on a film set outside Santa Fe Horrible decision. The film's armorer & prop master should be held responsible not the actor. If he is convicted then it sets a horrible precedent, every time a stunt goes wrong, the actor could be held liable. About time. If you are in charge, and you are the producer, and safety is lax and precautions were not taken, then you have a degree of responsibility.
