It’s been more than a year since the tragedy on the western Rust which saw DP Halyna Hutchins’ life taken after a prop gun, handled by pic’s star and producer Alec Baldwin misfired, also injuring the director Joel Souza; and the Santa Fe Sherriff’s Department has finally concluded its investigation and sent it over to the New Mexico District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies who is reviewing details for potential further charges. “Today, District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies received the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s investigative report on the Rust movie set incident,” read a statement from a spokesperson at the DA’s office. “The District Attorney and her team of investigators and prosecutors will now begin a thorough review of the information and evidence to make a thoughtful, timely decision about whether to bring charges,” continued the statement. ” As with all cases that the District Attorney handles, her focus will be on upholding the integrity of the process, enforcing the laws of the state of New Mexico, and pursuing justice.” No further details were made available.

An Aug. 30 letter from Carmack-Altwies to the New Mexico State Finance Board indicated that the DA had an intent of making Baldwin “one of the possible defendants” in the Rust tragedy.

The DA was seeking $635K from the state to prosecute as many as four individuals, however, she only received $317,750. Baldwin’s attorney  Luke Nikas of Quinn Emanuel blasted the DA as being “irresponsible” in using such language with the police report not even being made public yet.
