That charge, lawyers for Badlwin and Gutierrez-Reed argued in a motion filed earlier this month, was based on New Mexico law that passed following Halyna Hutchins\u2019 death on the Bonanza Creek Ranch set in October 2021. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The involuntary manslaughter charges remain in place, but the firearm enhancement from the second charge has been dropped, taking a possible five-year prison sentence for both off the table. They both still face an involuntary manslaughter charge that comes with a maximum of 18 months in prison. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cIn order to avoid further litigious distractions by Mr. Baldwin and his attorneys, the District Attorney and the special prosecutor have removed the firearm enhancement to the involuntary manslaughter charges in the death of Halyna Hutchins on the <em>Rust<\/em> film set,\u201d Heather Brewer, spokesperson for the New Mexico First Judicial District Attorney, said in a statement obtained by <em>The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>. \u201cThe prosecution\u2019s priority is securing justice, not securing billable hours for big-city attorneys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    In response, Gutierrez-Reed\u2019s lawyer Jason Bowles said in a statement that the armorer\u2019s legal team \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>laud(s) the decision by the District Attorney and it was the right call, ethically, and on the merits.\u201d <em>THR <\/em>has reached out to Baldwin\u2019s legal representation for comment. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Charges were formally filed against Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed on Jan. 31, more than a year after Hutchins was fatally shot on the <em>Rust<\/em> movie set by a gun that discharged a live round while in the hand of producer-actor Baldwin. That followed Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies announcing\u00a0criminal charges\u00a0against the two on Jan. 19. Neither were arrested. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Baldwin was charged by prosecutors as both an actor and producer for\u00a0<em>Rust<\/em>. Gutierrez-Reed was charged as the armorer, the individual responsible for weapons and ammunition on a set, and the one who loaded the gun on the day of the shooting. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    At the time the formal charges were announced, prosecutors said Baldwin should have known \u201cthe first rule of gun safety is never to point a gun at someone you don\u2019t intend on shooting,\u201d and that he should have also assumed the gun was loaded with live rounds. The statement from the DA\u2019s office also noted he neglected to undergo \u201crequired firearms training prior to the commencement of filming,\u201d even \u201cafter [Gutierrez-Reed] requested more training.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cThis reckless deviation from known standards and practice and protocol directly caused the fatal shooting,\u201d the statement said. \u201cBaldwin acted with willful disregard of the safety of others and in a manner which endangered other people.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n!function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\nif (f.fbq) return;\nn = f.fbq = function() {n.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);};\nif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\nn.push = n;\nn.loaded = !0;\nn.version = '2.0';\nn.queue = [];\nt = b.createElement(e);\nt.async = !0;\nt.src = v;\ns = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n}(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '352999048212581');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
