“After extensive investigation over the past several months, additional facts have come to light that we believe show Mr. Baldwin has criminal culpability in the death of Halyna Hutchins and the shooting of Joel Souza,” they said in a statement to multiple outlets. “We believe the appropriate course of action is to permit a panel of New Mexico citizens to determine from here whether Mr. Baldwin should be held over for criminal trial.”
While production on Rust was halted after the shooting, filming of the movie ultimately resumed early last year and wrapped in May.
“Last day of filming RUST in Montana,” Alec wrote on Instagram at the time, alongside a photo of costars Patrick Scott McDermott and Frances Fisher. “It’s been a long and difficult road. But we reach the end of the trail today. Congratulations to Joel, Bianca and the entire cast and crew.
Nothing less than a miracle.”
