Actor Alec Baldwin has filed a civil lawsuit for malicious prosecution and civil rights violations in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie 'Rust.' The lawsuit, filed in Santa Fe, New Mexico, alleges defamation and intentional mishandling of evidence by prosecutors and investigators.
Baldwin, the lead actor and co-producer of 'Rust,' was involved in the incident where a prop gun discharged, killing Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza during a rehearsal in October 2021. Baldwin has maintained that he did not pull the trigger but rather pulled back the hammer of the revolver.
