It’s just breaking that Alec Baldwin has been indicted by a grand jury in the deadly Rust shooting that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
According to the reporting, he’s being charged with involuntary manslaughter:
Here’s more from ABC News:
A grand jury has indicted Alec Baldwin on an involuntary manslaughter charge in the deadly shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the New Mexico set of “Rust,” months after prosecutors dropped their case against the actor over her death.
The indictment charges Baldwin, 65, with involuntary manslaughter (negligent use of a firearm) or, in the alternative, involuntary manslaughter (without due caution or circumspection), both fourth-degree felonies.
In response to Friday’s indictment, Baldwin’s attorneys, Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro of Quinn Emanuel, said, “We look forward to our day in court.”
I know all of this was an accident due to negligence and I’m glad they are finally charging him. It’s one thing to be negligent when nobody gets hurt. It’s something entirely different when someone dies. He must be held accountable.
