A civil suit has recently been brought against Baldwin by "Rust" crew members, accusing the actor of negligence and reckless conduct. Alec's lawyers swiftly filed a motion to have the case dismissed; however, the judge has just denied this request.
From UPI:
Judge Bryan Biedscheid denied Baldwin's motion to dismiss the suit brought by Rust crew members Ross Addiego, Doran Curtin and Reese Price. They're suing Baldwin, as well El Dorado Pictures and Rust Movie Productions.
Baldwin faces a potential refiling of criminal charges in Hutchins' death.
Baldwin has denied pulling the trigger on the revolver and so far he has not been criminally charged in the death.
But an independent forensics report released Aug. 11 said the trigger had to have been pulled for the gun to fire, raising the possibility Baldwin still could face potential criminal charges.
Hutchins was killed in October 2021 when a firearm used in the film discharged as Baldwin pointed it at her on set during filming.
Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the 26-year-old armorer on the film, pleaded not guilty to charges including involuntary manslaughter Aug. 11.
If there's any justice in this world, Alec will face some form of punishment for taking another human being's life.
Honestly, he should be locked away in prison, but that outcome is most likely not going to happen. Therefore, it's hoped that this new lawsuit brings Baldwin some sort of retribution.
