Alec Baldwin has claimed he's been exonerated over the death of a cinematographer he accidentally shot dead by a new report blasting producers of the film whose set witnessed the tragedy.
New Mexican Occupational Health and Safety Bureau officials levied the maximum fine against the producers of Rust, the western movie on whose set Halyna Hutchins was shot and killed by Baldwin in October 2021.
Executive producers were hit with a $136,793 film - the maximum available. Baldwin himself was a producer, but highlighted a passage in the investigation which said that he was involved in the script and casting - but not safety procedures.
'We appreciate that the report exonerates Mr. Baldwin by making clear that he believed the gun held only dummy rounds.
'Additionally, the report recognizes that Mr. Baldwin's authority on the production was limited to approving script changes and creative casting.
'Mr. Baldwin had no authority over the matters that were the subject of the Bureau's findings of violations, and we are pleased that the New Mexico officials have clarified these critical issues.
Wednesday afternoon, Baldwin, issued a statement that touted the scathing report as a victory.
He has since claimed that he did not pull the trigger of the gun that fired, and that it went off by accident in his hand.
In Baldwin's statement, his PR team cited how officials only named Halls and another staffer, Property Master Sarah Zachary - two of three employees to handle the gun before it was passed to Baldwin - as responsible for safety slip-ups that resulted in Hutchins' death, ignoring assertions that the company as a whole should be held 'fully accountable' for the failures.

“Executive producers were hit with a $136,793 film - the maximum available.”
Will Producer Alec Baldwin now release proof that he isn’t responsible because the shooting was wholly the fault of a negligent actor?
Pure bull feces! Not possible.
Alec Baldwin has never burped, farted, used the restroom or said a bad word. In just a few days, Sainthood will be thrown upon him. He’s my Idol.
You are worthress Arec Barwin
Just as well as you, I know what comes in a crock. I can guess at how much it cost to put it there...and I guess 7 digits, none of them fingers or toes.
Lol!
I don't care if fifteen 'experts' check the gun first. YOU are holding the gun. If you don't know what you are doing, you shouldn't be holding it.
Roger that!
Not crazy. Accurate and true.
> Mr. Baldwin had no authority over the matters that were the subject of the Bureau’s findings of violations... <
Baldwin was one of the producers. Producers have authority over EVERYTHING that goes on regarding the movie. In a way, it’s like being captain of a ship. They have authority over everything, and are responsible for everything.
he was permitted to murder the investigator
of his child abuse.
all democrats and rinos are allowed this
get out of jail card.
I think Alec will get away with it. OJ got away with murder, Bruce Jenner got away with murder, and so will Baldwin. George Orwell had it right when he wrote Animal Farm. All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. We just have to face the fact that we have a 2 tier justice system in this country. One for the rich/celebrities/athletes, and one for we peasants.
I guess the Holy Ghost pulled the trigger? BS, he pulled the trigger.
It is most obvious that safety protocol on the set was almost non existent. Baldwins personal conduct was totally unsafe that even a novice would know. Why in the hell were live rounds even on the movie set? Where other live rounds found on the movie set?
Something stinks about this all that we do not know, yet.
“..I don’t care if fifteen ‘experts’ check the gun first. YOU are holding the gun. If you don’t know what you are doing, you shouldn’t be holding it....”
Yep..without question.
He was responsible. He will likely weasel out of this, but there’s a day coming, and he will be held accountable.
That guy gives dicks a bad name.
