The family of the Rust cinematographer will press ahead with a civil suit against Baldwin.
Lawyer Gloria Allred, who represents Hutchins’ mother, father and sister said :
“Mr Baldwin may pretend that he is not responsible for pulling the trigger and ejecting a live bullet which ended Halyna’s life. He can run to Montana and pretend that he is just an actor in a wild west movie but, in real life, he cannot escape from the fact that he had a major role in a tragedy which had real life consequences.”
Baldwin’s lawyers called their action “misguided” and unlikely to survive legal scrutiny.
Director Joel Souza made a statement, calling the move “bittersweet” and vowed to finish the film “on Halyna’s behalf.”
