Later Thursday, prosecutors issued an official statement, confirming their decision to dismiss charges against Baldwin. However, they said the decision was made, “pending further investigation.”
Hutchins was killed during a rehearsal on the film’s New Mexico set, when a gun Baldwin was handling went off, discharging a live round that killed Hutchins. Baldwin said he was told by crew members that the gun was safe to use — that it held no live rounds. In a December 2021 ABC News interview, he also insisted he didn’t pull the trigger and only pointed it in Hutchins’ direction because she told him to.
“Consequently, we cannot proceed under the current time constraints and on the facts and evidence turned over by law enforcement in its existing form,” their statement said. Since New Mexico prosecutors filed charges against Baldwin in late January, legal experts have said it would be tough to prove that Baldwin was criminally negligent. They say he was an actor on a film set, where certain crew members usually are responsible for checking weapons to make sure they are safe to use. On the set of “Rust,” a live round somehow ended up in the revolver Baldwin was given for rehearsing a gunfight scene.
