The dismissal of criminal charges against Alec Baldwin in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins allows a related civil lawsuit by her family to proceed. Attorney Gloria Allred, representing Hutchins' relatives, stated they are seeking damages and compensation from Baldwin and the 'Rust' producers and intend to depose Baldwin under oath. Hutchins' widower and son previously settled separately.
SANTA FE, N.M. — The conclusion of a criminal case against Alec Baldwin in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer clears the way for a related civil lawsuit by relatives of the deceased woman and efforts to depose the actor under oath, attorneys for plaintiffs in the civil suit said Tuesday.
Baldwin, the lead actor and coproducer, was pointing a pistol at Hutchins when it discharged, killing Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza. Baldwin has said he pulled back the hammer — but not the trigger — and the revolver fired. Allred said she’s ready to prove that Hutchins had a close relationship with her parents and sister — a prerequisite for seeking civil damages.
In April, a judge sentenced movie weapons supervisor Hannah Gutierrez-Reed to the maximum of 1 1/2 years at a state penitentiary on an involuntary manslaughter conviction in Hutchins’ death.
