An assistant director on 'Rust' became the first person involved with the accidental shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins to face accountability after entering a plea of no contest.
Halls denied both those allegations in a, saying he remembered Gutierrez-Reed giving the gun to Baldwin. During an initial interview with the sheriff’s department, however, Halls admitted that he did not check all the rounds of the prop gun but should have.
The extent of what Halls is copping to in the plea is still somewhat up for debate. Prosecutor Kari Morrissey shared a statement with the court that said in part, “[Halls] is the last line of defense. He needed to check and confirm that the rounds in the gun were actually dummy rounds. Mr. Halls did not check every round that it was in the gun to confirm that it was a dummy round.”
His lawyer, however, Lisa Torraco, pushed back on the state’s claim that Halls was responsible for on-set safety, saying, “He can’t control how other people handle firearms.”
