On November 11, news came from foreign media that The case of Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin "manslaughter" the photographer at the shooting scene last month made another wave, and a staff member of Baldwin's crew sued him.
Baldwin's "manslaughter" of the cinematographer took place on a set in New Mexico, USA, when the film was "Rust" starring Baldwin. Baldwin set aside a prop gun to fire according to the plot, and the gun unexpectedly shot live ammunition, resulting in the death of the photographer opposite him on the spot, and the director on the side also injured his shoulder. After the accident, the filmmakers claimed that it was an accident caused by a prop gun failure, so no one was arrested or held responsible.
Now, Serge Svetnoy, the chief lighting engineer who was also a member of Baldwin's crew, is suddenly suing him. The lighting engineer said in the lawsuit that the so-called "accidental killing" was entirely the result of the negligence of Baldwin and others. At that time, he clearly felt the bullet fly past him, and the gunpowder and "residue" sprayed from the muzzle of the gun hit him in the cheek.
The biggest doubt in this manslaughter incident is where the bullets in the prop gun came from. In the lawsuit he filed, the lighting engineer stated that there was no reason to load a live ammunition in the prop gun or to produce a live bullet anywhere on the shooting set, so the pistol involved posed a fatal threat to everyone in the vicinity.
In addition to starring Baldwin, another of the most suspected is the crew's props artist Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, because props must pass through her hands to reach the hands of the actors. The prop designer claimed through her lawyer that she had been "framed" in this manslaughter incident.
The prop designer issued a statement through her lawyer saying she had no way of knowing why there was a live bullet on the set. So, they demand a comprehensive and thorough investigation of all facts, where did the live ammunition come from? How does it fit into a prop gun? Who is secretly manipulating all this? If there is evidence to support the claim that the prop master was "framed", the so-called "manslaughter" incident is not a manslaughter but a murder. So, who "framed" her?
In addition to Baldwin and Reed, another very suspicious person in this case is assistant director Halls, because he was the person who handed the gun to Baldwin at the time, and he told Baldwin that it was a cold gun, that is, a gun that could not be fired. Hall later confronted investigators and said he had not fully examined the gun at the time. Is the assistant director's words worth believing?
In short, this manslaughter incident, which excludes "manslaughter", is now even more foggy. The report said the props division had met again with local police investigators and said they were willing to share more critical information with them. Where will the case end up and what will the outcome of the investigation look like? Until the police investigation is over, everything is unknown.
