It Is 'Absurd' That Alec Baldwin Did Not Take Responsibility For Set Death, Halyna Hutchins Husband Says

Halyna Hutchins' husband says the idea that Alec Baldwin isn't responsible for his wife's death is 'absurd'.

In the interview, Baldwin said that while he felt sadness for Halyna's death, he 'could not say who' was responsible.

Matt said he was angry Baldwin talked about his wife's death 'so publicly' but did 'not accept any responsibility, after having just described killing her'.

When the interviewer asked if Matt felt the majority of the blame lies with Baldwin, he said 'the idea that the person holding the gun, causing it to discharge, is not responsible, is absurd to me'.

Matt said gun safety wasn't the only problem on the set of Rust and that there were 'a number of industry standards that were not practiced'. He believes there were 'multiple responsible parties', and said he will be suing Baldwin, producers and crew members from the film.

Search warrants from the case have revealed the film's armourer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, loaded the gun with what she believed was dummy ammunition. The gun was then handed to Dave Halls, the first assistant director, who gave the gun to Baldwin.

Along with Matt Hutchins, script supervisor Mamie Mitchell, gaffer Serge Svetnoy, and Cherlyn Schaefer, the key medic, have also filed lawsuits.
