Just over six months after criminal charges were dropped against Alec Baldwin for the 2021 killing of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, new involuntary manslaughter claims could be put before a grand jury in a matter of weeks.

“After extensive investigation over the past several months, additional facts have come to light that we believe show Mr. Baldwin has criminal culpability in the death of Halyna Hutchins and the shooting of Joel Souza,” said Special Prosecutors Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis today of the tragedy on the New Mexico set of the Indie Western on October 21 two years ago.
“We believe the appropriate course of action is to permit a panel of New Mexico citizens to determine from here whether Mr. Baldwin should be held over for criminal trial,” the duo added Tuesday. Earlier this month, the special prosecutors accused Baldwin and Rust producers of obstructing the investigation into what really happened that fatal day on the Bonanza Creek Ranch set in the Land of Enchantment.
While a blow to Baldwin, who has always insisted he never pulled the trigger on the gun that killed Hutchins and injured Rust director Joel Souza, the haunting possibility of refiled charges was never far from a reality. Though Baldwin saw criminal charges against him in the death of Hutchins dropped in April, the newly minted special prosecutors in the case never ruled out refiling manslaughter or other claims against him if more evidence came in — which sounds like what has happened now.
