Halyna Hutchins’ Estate Attorney Slams ‘Shameful’ Alec Baldwin For Blaming Late Cinematographer For Rust Shooting

perezhilton.com:

Halyna Hutchins’ estate is calling out Alec Baldwin’s “shameful” attempt at deflecting any responsibility for the killing of the cinematographer on the set of Rust.

After Halyna’s widower Matthew Hutchins filed a wrongful death lawsuit against him, it appears the 63-year-old actor has continued to point fingers at everyone but himself, this time doing so by filing an arbitration demand against his fellow Rust producers.

As we previously reported, Baldwin aimed to protect himself from any current and future lawsuits by invoking a provision in his contract with the Rust production company that immunizes him from financial responsibility for any mishap.

He is also attempting to get production to pay for his legal fees. His lawyer Luke Nikas stated: Related: Alec Baldwin Blasts Halyna Hutchins’ Family As Money Hungry! In the filing, the 30 Rock alum even went as far as to even pass off some of the responsibility for the shooting on to Halyna, saying she told him to point the gun “where it was directed toward her” and had him “pull back the hammer” at the time: Wow… Now, the attorney for Hutchins’ estate Brian Panish is slamming the producer for his legal actions.
