Quentin Tarantino explained Alec Baldwin was 10% responsible for the gun on the set of 'Rust.' The actor's case was dismissed in July as he faced an involuntary manslaughter charge.
Quentin Tarantino explained Alec Baldwin was responsible 'to some degree' for his gun on the set of 'Rust.' A judge dismissed Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter charge in July mid-trial after finding the prosecution withheld exculpatory evidence from the defense. 'Rust' cinematographer Halyna Hutchins died Oct. 21, 2021, after a gun Baldwin was holding fired on set.
jury found 'Rust' armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed guilty of involuntary manslaughter in March. She is currently serving her 18-month sentence but plans to appeal following Baldwin's case dismissal. 'The state's willful withholding of this information was intentional and deliberate,' Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer said inside the New Mexico courthouse just a few days into Baldwin's trial.
Baldwin's lawyer argued gun safety was not Baldwin's responsibility in his opening statements at trial. 'The actor’s job is to act,' he told the jury. 'He’s Harland Rust. He’s an outlaw running for his life, who in the incident in question, he’s pulling a six-shooter to try to defend himself. That’s why the gun has to be safe before it gets into the actor’s hands.' 'His mind is somewhere else: in the being of another, a century away, an outlaw.
