An investigation into the fatal film-set shooting of a cinematographer by actor Alec Baldwin has taken an unusual turn with the public release of virtually the entire case file, casting aside the veil of secrecy in a six-month investigation with decisions still pending about possible criminal charges.
The vast trove of newly released law enforcement files include lapel camera video of the mortally wounded Halyna Hutchins slipping in and out of consciousness as an evacuation helicopter arrives on the set of the Western movie set for “Rust.” Witness interrogations, email threads, text conversations, inventories of ammunition and hundreds of photographs round out the collection of evidence.
