New Mexico DA may file criminal charges against Alec Baldwin over "Rust" shooting

In a recent letter to the state’s finance board, Santa Fe Dist. Atty. Mary Carmack-Altwies said as many as four people could face criminal charges in connection with the accident last year that claimed the life of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza.

The letter, first reported by the Santa Fe New Mexican, indicated that her office is considering charges, including homicide as well as gun violations, against four individuals.

“One of the possible defendants is well-known movie actor Alec Baldwin,” the District Attorney wrote in a letter dated August 30, viewed by the Times. She did not identify other individuals who might be charged.

“If charges are warranted, the [First Judicial District Attorney] anticipates prosecuting up to four individuals. My expenses for the “Rust’ [case] will begin immediately and will be costly,” she wrote.
