Alec Baldwin's first court appearance has been set as he confronts accusations of firearm safety failures and involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on a New Mexico film set. A New Mexico court on Wednesday scheduled Baldwin and film-set weapons supervisor Hannah Gutierrez-Reed to appear by videoconference before Santa Fe-based District Court Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer in late February, leaving several weeks before the defendants may provide a formal response to felony charges.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Rust Shooting Case: Alec Baldwin Charged with Involuntary Manslaughter in Halyna Hutchins Death.

They were both charged Tuesday with involuntary manslaughter in the death of Halyna Hutchins on the set of the Western movie Rust. Hutchins died shortly after being wounded during rehearsals at a ranch on the outskirts of Santa Fe on October 21, 2021. Baldwin was pointing a pistol at Hutchins when the gun went off, killing her and wounding the director, Joel Souza.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Alec Baldwin슬롯사이트™s Wife Hilaria Talks About 슬롯사이트˜Emotional슬롯사이트� Time Her Family Is Facing amid Rust Shooting Case Charges.

A manslaughter charge can be brought if a defendant killed while doing something lawful but dangerous and was acting negligently or without caution. In newly filed court documents, prosecutors said reckless safety failures accompanied the film production from the outset. They cite Baldwin's failure as an actor to appear for mandatory firearms training prior to filming and his decision as a producer to work with Gutierrez-Reed, who was an uncertified and inexperienced armorer.

A probable cause statement from investigators traces safety failures across a 10-day period, such as misfires on set, a camera crew walkout and the moments before Hutchins' death as a revolver was loaded with ammunition and Baldwin's finger came to rest on the pistol's trigger. 슬롯사이트œBaldwin's deviation from known standards, practices and protocol directly caused" Hutchins' death, Robert Shilling, a special investigator for the Santa Fe district attorney's office, said in the probable cause statement.

Baldwin's attorney Luke Nikas declined to comment Tuesday and referred to a previous statement in which he called the charges a 슬롯사이트œterrible miscarriage of justice슬롯사이트� that he and his client would fight and win. 슬롯사이트œMr. Baldwin had no reason to believe there was a live bullet in the gun 슬롯사이트� or anywhere on the movie set,슬롯사이트� the statement said. 슬롯사이트œHe relied on the professionals with whom he worked.슬롯사이트�

Gutierrez-Reed's attorney said they would release a statement later. Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies told The Associated Press in a January 19 interview that the set was 슬롯사이트œreally being run pretty fast and loose슬롯사이트� and Baldwin should have known there were previous misfires on the set and people had brought up safety concerns. She also highlighted Baldwin as the person "that held the gun, that pointed the gun and that pulled the trigger.슬롯사이트�

Prosecutors will forgo a grand jury and rely on a judge to determine if there is sufficient evidence to move toward trial. That decision could take up to 60 days and involve trail-like hearings to consider witness testimony and evidence.

Prosecutors have submitted a list of dozens of witnesses including the wounded 슬롯사이트œRust슬롯사이트� director Souza, weapons assistant Sarah Zachry, the film's ammunition provider, several participants in the film set rehearsal where Hutchins was shot 슬롯사이트� as well as FBI analysts, law enforcement detectives and sheriff's deputies who initially responded to the shooting. The manslaughter charges against Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed include two alternative standards and sanctions. One version would require proof of negligence, which is punishable by up to 18 months in jail and a USD 5,000 fine under New Mexico law.

The second alternative is reckless disregard of safety 슬롯사이트œwithout due caution and circumspection.슬롯사이트� It carries a higher threshold of wrongdoing and includes a 슬롯사이트œfirearm enhancement슬롯사이트� that could result in a mandatory five years in prison because the offense was committed with a gun. A jury may decide which definition of manslaughter to pursue, prosecutors said. Defense litigator Kate Mangels, whose work includes the entertainment sector, said prosecutors submitted a robust analysis of Baldwin's safety responsibilities as actor and producer on 슬롯사이트œRust슬롯사이트�.

슬롯사이트œThe fact that they separated out Alec Baldwin the actor versus Alec Baldwin the producer shows to me that they're potentially foreseeing a challenge to his culpability as to either of those roles,슬롯사이트� said Mangles, who is based in Santa Monica, California. 슬롯사이트œSo they want to differentiate ... and provide a robust analysis of both of those separately.슬롯사이트� Investigators said reckless safety failures culminated when Baldwin drew a revolver from a holster, pointed it at Hutchins and fired the weapon when a plastic or replica gun should have been used by industry standards.

Photos and videos of the rehearsal, including moments before the deadly shooting, showed Baldwin with his finger inside the trigger guard and on the trigger while 슬롯사이트œmanipulating슬롯사이트� the pistol's hammer, investigators said, noting that an FBI analysis shows the pistol could not be fired without pressing the trigger.

Baldwin, who has described the killing as a tragic accident, said he was told the .45-caliber revolver was safe. The 64-year-old actor has sought to clear his name by suing people involved in handling and supplying the loaded gun.

Baldwin said in his lawsuit 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.

Defense attorney Jason Bowles, who represents Gutierrez-Reed, said the charges are the result of a 슬롯사이트œflawed investigation슬롯사이트� and an 슬롯사이트œinaccurate understanding of the full facts.슬롯사이트� The decision to charge Baldwin marks a stunning turn of events for an A-list actor whose 40-year career included the early blockbuster 슬롯사이트œThe Hunt for Red October슬롯사이트� and a starring role in the sitcom 슬롯사이트�30 Rock,슬롯사이트� as well as iconic appearances in Martin Scorsese's 슬롯사이트œThe Departed슬롯사이트� and a film adaptation of David Mamet's 슬롯사이트œGlengary Glen Ross.슬롯사이트� In recent years, Baldwin was known for his impression of former President Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live. Prosecutors said a proposed plea agreement signed by assistant director David Halls, who oversaw safety on set, has not yet been approved by a judge and cannot be published. Halls also is scheduled for a first-appearance in New Mexico court later this month. He has agreed to plead guilty in the negligent use of a deadly weapon, explaining that he may have handled the gun improperly before it was given to Baldwin, prosecutors said.
