Earlier this month, a grand jury indicted actor Alec Baldwin on charges of involuntary manslaughter for the shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, after her tragic death sparked a widespread cry for changes to gun safety protocols in the entertainment industry. In October 2021 in New Mexico, Hutchins was working as the director of photography on the set of the film “Rust.” During a rehearsal, Baldwin apparently discharged a revolver which was used as a prop, striking Hutchins, who passed away later that day.

The reactions to this terrible tragedy were immediate: Legal minds began weighing in on the implications, gun safety experts opined on what might have gone wrong, and months later, Baldwin faced his initial set of criminal charges. At the time, Baldwin defended himself, stating he was told the gun was unloaded and that he never pulled the trigger, with his legal team later raising questions about whether the gun was working properly when the shooting occurred. In April 2023, charges against Baldwin were dropped, only to be brought again last week.
