The New Mexico district attorney signals she may charge actor-producer Alec Baldwin and three other people in the fatal shooting on the set of 'Rust.'
Interviews with multiple members of the “Rust” crew paint an hour- by-hour picture of a cascade of bad decisions that created a chaotic set on which a lead bullet was put into a prop gun.Next month will mark a year since the accident on the set of the low-budget western, where questions remain about how a live round ended up on the production in violation of safety practices.
The state gave the district attorney’s office $317,000 for the appointment of a special prosecutor to oversee the case. Last month, another piece of key evidence was delivered to police. A long-awaited FBI report, including an analysis of the weapon that Baldwin fired, concluded that the pistol “functioned normally when tested in the laboratory.”
The report noted that, in order for the replica Pietta Colt .45 to fire, the trigger needed to be pulled. Those results appeared to cast doubt on Baldwin statements late last year to ABC News’ George StephanopoulosHowever, an attorney for Baldwin, who was also a producer on the movie, said that the report’s conclusions had been “misconstrued.”
“The gun fired in testing only one time — without having to pull the trigger — when the hammer was pulled back and the gun broke in two different places,” said Luke Nikas, Baldwin’s attorney. “The FBI was unable to fire the gun in any prior test, even when pulling the trigger, because it was in such poor condition.”
