<p> In 2009, during the filming of the western movie &#8220;Rust&#8221; in New Mexico, Alec Baldwin was charged with manslaughter in the death of his cinematographer, Halina Hutchins, when a live round was found in the prop gun he was shooting and hit her in the chest. Baldwin&#8217;s trial is set for July.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Baldwin is known for his role in &#8220;The Hunt for Red October&#8221; (&#8217;90) and &#8220;The Hunt for Red October&#8221; (&#8217;90).

<p> In the same case, on April 15 (local time), a federal court in the state sentenced Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, a props weapons officer, to one year and six months in prison for manslaughter. It is believed that the sentence of the props officer may affect the trial of Baldwin, who was similarly charged with manslaughter.</p>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" Once he was exempted from prosecution due to &quot;lack of evidence.&quot; ......"></div>
<p>According to the New York Post (electronic edition), court Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer told Reid,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> &#8220;He turned a safe weapon into a deadly weapon. &#8220;That constitutes a serious crime of violence.</span></p>
<p> She sentenced Reed to one year and six months in prison for &#8220;turning a safe weapon into a deadly weapon.</p>

<p> The accidental shooting incident in the movie &#8220;The Last&#8221; occurred during a rehearsal on location in New Mexico in October 2009.</p>
<p> When Baldwin fired a prop gun on a church set, a live round was fired, hitting Halina Hutchins, then 42, the director of photography, who was nearby, in the chest, killing her. The bullet that penetrated her body hit director Joel Souza, who was nearby, in the shoulder and wounded him.</p>
<p> Baldwin said in an interview with ABC News.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I didn&#8217;t know there was a live bullet in the gun.</span></p>
<p> He claimed that Hutchins&#8217; death was an accident and that he was not responsible for it. He claimed that the staff should have made sure that the prop gun did not contain live ammunition and that it was properly loaded with blanks.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> He also claimed that he did not pull the trigger and that the gun went off on its own after he put the pistol&#8217;s firing pin back on.</p>
<p> Local prosecutors charged Baldwin and defendant Reed, the props weapons officer, with manslaughter in March &#8217;23, but dropped the charges against Baldwin in April of that year. It was reported that there was insufficient evidence, etc.</p>
<p> However, in January of this year, prosecutors again charged Baldwin with manslaughter, and the case was set to go to trial in July. The possibility that new evidence has come to light is also being discussed.</p>
<p> In addition to starring in the film, Baldwin is also an executive producer and may be held accountable for his overall management of the film&#8217;s shooting. The fact that the props officer has been sentenced to jail time does not inspire optimism.</p>
<p> A fatal shooting during the shooting of a movie starring a Hollywood star. What will the jury make of Baldwin&#8217;s manslaughter charge?</p>
