The prosecution claims that if Baldwin had followed proper safety procedures and protocols, Hutchins would still be alive today. She leaves behind a husband and son. Special Investigator Robert Shilling broke down what happened that fateful day. “Baldwin drew the revolver from the holster, pointed it at Halyna Hutchins, and fired the weapon,” he said.
According to the prosecution, Baldwin is also to blame because of his role as a producer on the film. It was his responsibility to manage the production’s safety. One of the things that was mismanaged was the hiring of the “inexperienced and unqualified” Hannah Gutierrez-Reed as the production’s armorer. Gutierrez-Reed also faces charges, and if convicted, she and Baldwin could face up to 18 months in prison with the potential for a five-year enhancement because of the use of a firearm.
“The evidence and statements documented in this affidavit confirm many instances of extremely reckless acts or reckless failures to act by Baldwin in a 10-day period,” Shilling goes on to say. “Baldwin’s deviation from known standards, practice and protocol directly caused the fatal death of Hutchins.”
Baldwin’s attorney Luke Nikas disagrees. “This decision distorts Halyna Hutchins’ tragic death and represents a terrible miscarriage of justice. We will fight these charges and we will win,” he said.
