The Santa Fe District Attorney&#8217;s Office <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/charges-reduced-against-alec-baldwin-armorer-in-rust-fatal-shooting-case\">formally downgraded<\/a> the second of the two charges earlier in the week for both Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed. They originally had a firearms enhancement charge attached to the second involuntary manslaughter that would have brought up to five years in prison.<\/p>\n<p>Baldwin launched a lawsuit in November of 2022 against several crew members for recklessness and dereliction of duty. Gutierrez-Reed, Assistant Director Dave Halls, Prop Master Sarah Zachry, and Seth Kenney, the gun supplier were named in the suit.\u00a0Gutierrez-Reed had been previously been accused of mishandling weapons on the Rust film.<\/p>\n<p>The movie was filming at the Bonanza Creek Ranch, a popular production location south of Santa Fe. Baldwin was also a producer on the film and previously said he doesn&#8217;t blame himself for the accident.<\/p>\n<p>In a December 2021 interview with George Stephanopolous, Alec Baldwin said he &#8220;didn&#8217;t pull the trigger.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, the trigger wasn&#8217;t pulled,&#8221; Baldwin said, &#8220;I didn&#8217;t pull the trigger.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So you never pulled the trigger?&#8221; Stephanopolous asked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No, no,&#8221; Baldwin said. &#8220;I would never point a gun and pull that trigger at them. Never.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In August, an FBI analysis concluded that Alec Baldwin pulled the trigger of the gun that killed cinematographer Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza.<\/p>\n<p>The weapon Baldwin said he thought was a &#8220;cold gun,&#8221; a .45 Colt (.45 Long Colt) caliber F.lli Pietta single-action revolver, &#8220;could not have been fired without pulling the trigger, according to an FBI forensic report.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>This is a breaking story and will be updated.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Thursday\u00a0Alec Baldwin Enter a plea of not guilty involuntary manslaughter charges for the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of his low-budget movie Rust in Bonanza City, New Mexico on October 21, 2021.
