The New Mexico special prosecutor, Kari Morrisey, has not disclosed the extent of the video footage reviewed by the prosecuting team or its impact on their decision. However, on October 17, prosecutors announced their intention to re-charge Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter.
Originally, a grand jury was scheduled to convene on Thursday to make this decision, but the proceeding was rescheduled during a teleconference on Wednesday.
Prosecutors had previously requested video evidence, but they did not receive the latest five tapes until October. These additional tapes contain approximately seven minutes of footage.
The tragic shooting occurred in October 2021, resulting in the death of Halyna Hutchins and the injury of director Joel Souza.
In January 2023, prosecutors charged both Baldwin and set armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed. However, the charges against Baldwin were dropped in April due to “new facts” that emerged. Prosecutors reserved the right to charge him again if further evidence indicated his culpability.
These “new facts” included the possibility that the gun may have been modified without Baldwin’s knowledge or that it may have malfunctioned, as reported by CBS News.
Baldwin has consistently maintained his innocence, denying that he ever pulled the trigger on the gun. However, forensic examiners’ reports and analysis of the gun suggest otherwise.
Despite the ongoing legal battles, Baldwin has filed lawsuits against several individuals involved in the incident.

What implications do the “new facts” and forensic evidence suggest about Alec Baldwin’s claims of innocence in the shooting incident
The release of recent footage has shed new light on the tragic incident involving actor Alec Baldwin on the set of his movie “Rust.” These videos, obtained by NBC News, show Baldwin handling prop guns and emphasizing the importance of safety just days before the fatal shooting that took the life of videographer Halyna Hutchins.
In the footage, Baldwin can be seen rehearsing gun draw moves and expressing concerns about safety. He even instructs someone off camera to move away, clearly demonstrating his commitment to preventing accidents. This new evidence raises questions about the extent of Baldwin’s involvement in ensuring a safe working environment.
The special prosecutor, Kari Morrisey, has not disclosed the full extent of the video footage reviewed by the prosecuting team or how it will impact their decision. However, on October 17, prosecutors announced their intention to re-charge Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter. The grand jury, originally scheduled to convene on Thursday, had their proceeding rescheduled during a teleconference on Wednesday.
It is worth noting that prosecutors had previously requested video evidence, but they did not receive the latest five tapes until October. These additional tapes contain approximately seven minutes of footage that could potentially provide crucial information for the case.
In January 2023, prosecutors initially charged both Baldwin and set armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed. However, the charges against Baldwin were dropped in April due to “new facts” emerging.

Baldwin has consistently maintained his innocence, denying that he ever pulled the trigger on the gun. However, forensic examiners’ reports and analysis of the gun suggest otherwise. The ongoing legal battles surrounding this case highlight the complex nature of assigning blame and responsibility in such incidents.
In addition to the legal proceedings, Baldwin has taken legal action by filing lawsuits against several individuals involved in the incident. This further complicates the situation, as multiple parties are now involved in a complex legal dispute.
While the release of this footage provides new insights into the events leading up to the tragic shooting, it is crucial to wait for the legal process to unfold and for all evidence to be thoroughly examined. Only through a fair and comprehensive investigation can justice be served for Halyna Hutchins and all those affected by this heartbreaking incident.
