of santa fe, the district attorney charging alec baldwin and armorer on the set of "rust" hannah gutierrez reed with involuntary manslaughter. kristen, let's talk about that plea deal here with dave halls. is it likely that gutierrez reed and baldwin were never offered a plea deal? >> that's very likely. in these types of cases, these very serious cases, particularly homicides, sexual violence, some of the main actors are not offered the plea deals that other individuals are. and in this case, it makes sense for halls to be offered a plea deal for the negligent use of a deadly weapon. number one, it's very clear based on his role that -- at least in my opinion -- that that charge would easily be proven against halls. that's one. but secondarily, he may possess information that can be used against gutierrez reed's involvement. and so he most likely as part of this plea deal will be required to testify truthfully in either one or both of their trials. >> vaughn, talk to me about the jury's role in all of this and what will be in front of them once this does go to trial. >> reporter: these are goi

the prosecutors just threw the book at alec baldwin and hannah gutierrez reed.luntary manslaughter charges, typically in the state of new mexico, the maximum punishment for involuntary manslaughter is up to 18 months. well, they have added an enhancement on one of the charges, a firearm enhancement which adds a potential mandatory penalty because a firearm was involved. the firearm enhancement makes the crime punishable by a mandatory five years. this was discretionary, meaning prosecutors had to they wanted to do here, and they have gone all out in determining that alec baldwin and hannah gutierrez reed are criminally responsible. i'll give you one more quote from them. they say the evidence shows a pattern of disregard for safety on the "rust" film set. in new mexico, there's no room for sets that don't take our gun safety and public safety seriously. let me add one other point here, which is the next step in this proceeding will be a preliminary hearing, which will be a kind of mini trial where a judge will determine, is there enough evidence to go to trial?

we believe there was probable cause to charge alec baldwin and hannah gutierrez reed with involuntaryhe key pieces of evidence that you used that factors into that decision. >> there such a lack of safety and safety standards on that set. that there were live rounds on set, they were mixed in with regular dummy rounds. nobody was checking those or least they weren't checking them consistently and they snow got loaded in a gun and handed over to alec baldwin. he didn't check it or didn't do any of the things that he was supposed to do to make sure that he was safe or that anyone around him was safe and i pointed the gun at helena hutchins and he pulled the trigger. >> you talk about safety on the set. was there one thing that was done oar one thaing that was sad that sealed it for you, that they should be prosecuted. >> this was a fast and loose set and that nobody was doing their job. there were three people that if they had done their job that day, this tragedy wouldn't have happened and that is david hall and hannah gutierrez reed and alec baldwin. if they had done their basic dutie

were doing their job job that day, this tragedy would not happen and that's david halls, -- hannah gutierrez-reed-reed served as armor and props assistant. baldwin has repeatedly claimed he pulled back the guns hammers for as you could without cocking the gun, and released a hammer, telling cnn and others -- >> the trigger was never. pulled -- >> no, no, no i would never point a gun out there and pull a trigger. you don't point a gun at someone and pull the trigger >> -- disagrees. >> every person that handles a gun has a duty to make sure that if they are going to hand handle that gun, pointed at someone and pull the trigger, that is not going to fire projectile and kill someone. an actor does not get a free pass just because they are an actor. >> safety expert steve wulf has a theory as to why baldwin says he did not pull the trigger. >> if your finger is on the trigger, and you are not aware that you are pressing, and you pull the hammer back, and release, the gun will also fire. and i believe that is why he is saying he didn't press the trigger. >> baldwin's attorney says he will fight the ch

that's david holmes, hannah gutierrez reed, and out baldwin.they have just done their basic duties, we would not be standing here. >> and as far as what comes next, the dea says that she expected those charges will be filed by the end of this month, and then a summons will be sent to the defendants. she said they won't be arresting anyone, they'll be summoning them either to come in person or to show up by video conference, and i will see how this prosecution goes and what additional evidence comes about. we know that all the defendants continued to profess their innocence and will put up an aggressive defense. >> it's curious, she would've announced that the charges are still not happening right now, they haven't actually been filed yet. i guess the end of the month. i want to bring in you here, chloe, i'm wondering how alec baldwin, who was one of the people who's been charged, a third person obviously that was named by the dea, in the interview with josh, has already pleaded to i believe a misdemeanor in this event. based on a negligence sim

is also charging the movie's armorer hannah gutierrez-reed with involuntary manslaughter, which her attorneysall the result of a very flawed investigation. >> this was something that was more than mere negligence. it was people acting recklessly. people not doing their jobs. violating all of the standards that we all have to follow if we have a gun in hour hands >> reporter: prosecutors say dave halls, the assistant director who looked at the gun before it was given to baldwin, cut a plea deal with the d.a. for a lesser charge. getting probation after agreeing to testify against baldwin and gutierrez-reed >> he is going to testify to the truth. he's not out to get anyone he's going to testify to the truth. >> reporter: tonight a movie set tragedy and now the real life consequences for the actor, the armorer and the assistant director who authorities say should have all prevented the deadly shooting. >> miguel joining us now when will charges officially be filed? is there any reaction coming from hutchins' family tonight? >> lester, matthew hutchins, the victim's widower said he supports charg

armorer hannah gutierrez reed and a a. she and alec baldwin could be in deep yogurt, where does the case go from here, joining me now fox news jonathan hunt. reporter: alec baldwin will fight the charges if his attorney statement is anything to go by, a statement that accused prosecutors of being wrong in said quote this decision distorts halyna hutchins tragic death and rips a terrible misjudgment of justice, mr. b baldwin had no reason to believe there was live rounds in the gun or on the bo movie set. >> the miscarriage of justice would be if nobody was held to account for haley ghail halyna hutchins' death, this is about her. and what happened to her, i believe we're doing what is right for halyna hutchins and what is right for the process and integrity of law, no one is above the law. reporter: prosecutors argue that not only was alec baldwin responsible for checking the gun before using it during a scene rehearsal but as a producer he had a wider responsibility for safety on the set of his low budget movie, "rust." h

had done their job that day, this tragedy wouldn't have happened and that is david hall and hannah gutierrez reedone their basic duty, we wouldn't be standing here. >> reporter: now attorneys for alec baldwin as well as hannah gutierrez reed, the armorer on the set, they have maintained their client's respective innocence. they will try to fight the charges. now interestingly, the third person that the d.a. mentioned, david halls he handed that gun to alec baldwin. he has pleaded guilty already. and so what we'r charges is that those charges will be filed according to the d.a. by the end of the month. they will then issue what is called a summons. there isn't an arrest but both reed and baldwin will have to appear here in new mexico either physically or by video conference and the court will get underway. of course, we've heard from legal experts saying this that case is an uphill battle for the prosecutor. a lot of criticism from the hollywood community, saying that the actor shouldn't be the one responsible for the safety of a gun. so we'll have to wait and see what happens. of course, the pros

hannah gutierrez-reed are going to face these criminal charges. each being charged with 2 counts of involuntary manslaughter. let's take a look at the district attorneys, a statement here in part i had this is a quote. i have determined there is sufficient evidence to file criminal charges against alec s of the rust film crew. on my watch. no one is above the law. everyone deserves justice. now these charges mean there will be a preliminary hearing and the judge then has a preliminary hearing will determine whether or not this will then go on to trial at this point. we just know that baldwin is charged with 2 counts of involuntary manslaughter for this death, which was accidental. that's why it's called involuntary manslaughter, the question is, you know, to what level did the negligence rise? was there any negligence in and can this get any further? can it go to trial? now? we haven't heard anything yet from representatives of alec baldwin, though, we have heard from. >> the attorney for the armorer on the rust set hannah gutierrez-reed. the atto

>> we are expecting those criminal charges to be filed against alec baldwin and hannah gutierrez reedter charge would carry up to 18 months in prison, but this this case, there is a firearm enhancement which is a firearm or gun, and with that, they could face up to five years in prison, and both baldwin and gutierrez reed have maintained innocence, and baldwin said that he did not know that the gun had a live round of ammunition, but when the d.a. spoke us to earlier in the month, the question was if something is an accident, and this appears to be, can it be criminal, and she said yes, something can be criminal and an accident. and so this is involving the death of the cinematographer halyna hutchinson. >> in the cases of this county, we send out a summons, and the court is going to set a first appearance or basically a first arraignment, and at that point, they either have to come here or do a video arraignment, and we have been doing those since covid, and they get the conditions of release and enter a guilty or not guilty plea. >> and so, the evidence to support these charges as t

we heard from attorneys from alec baldwin as well as hannah gutierrez-reed, the armorer.ients are innocent. as far as what happens next, these are serious charges. if one is convicted, that could carry a sentence of up to 18 months in pridson, but in this particular case, there is a firearm enhancement, a crime involving a gun which means that if convicted, both baldwin and gutierrez-reed could face up to five years in prison. so again, very serious charges here. those documents are now being transmitted and uploaded into the state's court record system. we should have those shortly, but the news just in, alec baldwin has now been criminally charged. >> thank you, josh campbell. >>> a dramatic image on long island. this is where a massive hutmpbak whale has wawash aided ashshore. this isn't the first time this has s happened in the last two months. we'll l talk about that next. book an exam today at amemericasbest.com. ♪ a dental tool is round for a reason. so is an oral-b. round cleans better by surrounding each tooth. so clean, you'll feel like you just left the dentist

what they will say is the evidence that led them to try to make this prosecution and bring hannah gutierrez reed but alec baldwin before a jury to determine whether they are criminal liability for the shooting in the killing of halyna hutchins. i want to let you listen to a little bit from a new interview that our correspondent miguel almaguer just completed with the special prosecutor on this case. andrea reed. because alec baldwin was more than actor here. is what prosecutors are saying in terms of his involvement. he was also a producer on this movie set here which goes to the question of everything leading up to that the actual day of the shooting and to what extent was their proper gun safety and proper protocols being followed. take a listen to the special prosecutor. >> he is a producer and he's on the set and seeing everything that is happening and you knows that the things are happening, the misfires on set, the way the gun was handed to him, he's experienced and he understands what the proper protocol is for safety. and he was just disregarding that. >> reporter: and then this is where

hannah gutierrez-reed, the armorer on the set should have known that there was a live bullet.get to the set. but what was interesting today is that the d.a. basically saying it doesn't really matter, and we may never know how live bullets got to the set in the first place. but he believes that that is where this all should start, and also dave halls, the assistant director, who took the plea deal telling him that this was a cold gun. so alec baldwin's attitude being, well, you know, if the gun goes off, there never should have been a live round in the first place. also, anderson, maintaining with me in august and still mai maintaining that he never pulled the trig, although the d.a. does not believe that. >> mark, just from a legal standpoint, can you explain? alec baldwin was a produce other tonight film as well as an actor in it. if he wasn't a producer, does being the producer, does that add a level of legal responsibility potentially here? >> yeah, i think actually it might. remember that involuntary manslaughter, which is what they're charged with is not an intent crime.

new mexico say they'll charge the film's star and producer alec baldwin along with armorer hannah gutierrez-reed with two counts of involuntary manslaughter. >> this was a really fast and loose set that nobody was doing their job. there were three people that if they had done their job that day, this tragedy wouldn't have happened and that's david halls, hannah gutierrez-reed and alec baldwin. >> reporter: set in the old west "rust" was filming outside santa fe. baldwin and crew members were rehearsing inside a church when a prop gun in the actor's hand discharged. >> we have two charges from a movie gunshot. >> reporter: killing cinematographer halyna hutchins and wounding director joel souza. dave halls who handed baldwin the gun has already pleaded guilty to negligent use of a deadly weapon. baldwin claimed he pulled it back as far as he could without cocking and released the hammer. >> the trigger wasn't pulled. >> you never pulled the trigger. >> no, no, no, i would never point a gun at anybody and pull the trigger at anyone. that's the training i had. >> reporter: district attorney mary ca

alec telling me why didn't hannah gutierrez-reed recheck that bullet. why didn't halls obey her. why did he give me the gun? why didn't he check? why did he tell the crew it was a cold gun? it's what alec baldwin told george stephanopoulos. it's what alec baldwin told me. why was he handed a gun in the first place that was supposed to be a prop gun that he should have been able to fire that gun a hundred times and a live bullet should have never come out. he also maintains that halyna hutchins told him, point the gun here, point it at me because they were in rehearsals in this church in new mexico and there was a breakdown in the chain of command on the set of "rust," so, yes, alec baldwin being held responsible with these charges that we're seeing, you know, dave halls taking the plea agreement. hannah gutierrez-reed with these two charges of involuntary manslaughter, but how did that live bullet get on the set and why is that not being made a bigger deal here, because there are other people as josh pointed out that were responsible for those rounds being on the set. >> right, a

. >> reporter: movie armorer hannah gutierrez reed will be charged. the district attorney released a statement saying if any one of these three people baldwin gutierrez reed or assistant director david hall's had done their job helena hutchins will be alive today. it is that simple. the evidence clearly shows a pattern of criminal disregard for safety on the rest film set. prosecutors reached a plea deal with hall's for negligence use of a deadly weapon. >> this is both surprising and not. a number of criminal defense attorneys were saying not only is there a lack of intent here but we are not sure that we see that level of criminal negligence. on the other hand what we saw from the prosecutor i think is that this was being planned for a while. >> reporter: during an october 2021 rehearsal baldwin was holding the popgun when it discharged a round. killing hutchins and injuring director joe souza. in a statement the actor's attorney called the charges a terrible miscarriage of justice. saying mr. baldwin had no reason to believe there was a live lid in
