Mary Carmack-Altweis: Last News

The settlement today between Alec Baldwin and Rust producers with the family of slain  cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and the resurrection of the indie Western won’t stop any possible criminal charges claims the Santa Fe District Attorney.

The late cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was remembered today on the one-year anniversary of her death on the set of the film Rust.

Alec Baldwin, along with "Rust" producers, reached a settlement in the wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, but the New Mexico district attorney's office announced Wednesday that the proposed agreement will have "no impact" on their investigation and filing possible criminal charges in the case. "The proposed settlement announced today in Matthew Hutchins’ wrongful death case against ‘Rust’ movie producers, including Alec Baldwin, in the death of Halyna Hutchins will have no impact on District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altweis’ ongoing investigation or her ultimate decision whether to file criminal charges in the case," Heather Brewer, spokesperson, Office of the First Judicial District Attorney, State of New Mexico, told Fox News Digital.  "While civil suits are settled privately and often involve financial awards, criminal cases deal only in facts. If the facts and evidence warrant criminal charges under New Mexico law then charges will be brought.
