New Mexico prosecutors on Tuesday said they intended to recharge actor Alec Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter for the fatal shooting of "Rust" cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in 2021.
Morrissey said if new testing of the gun showed it was working, she would recharge Baldwin.
Nobody has yet explained why live ammunition was on a movie set???
They were in a desert so some of the staff thought they would get some shooting in. That simple, that dumb.
OTOH, even then, how did live ammo find it’s way into the prop gear? One of those things where there had to be several dumb mistakes.
More to the point: Why didn’t Alec Baldwin check the firearm?
If the script called for him to shoot himself, you know he would have.
