Halyna Hutchinsthe mother decided to skip the premiere of “Rust” because of the “pain” caused by the actor Alec Baldwin following the accidental shooting of the late cinematographer in October 2021.

The “30 Rock” actor had faced a manslaughter charge for his role in her death; however, the trial ended abruptly in July when the judge ruled that prosecutors withheld defense evidence and moved to dismiss the trial with prejudice, meaning Baldwin can no longer face criminal charges for his role in Hutchins’ death.

Armorer “Rust”. Hannah Gutierrez-Reed she has already been sentenced to 18 months behind bars after a jury spent less than three hours finding her guilty of involuntary manslaughter.

Although “Rust,” Halyna Hutchins’ latest work, will premiere at the Camerimage Film Festival in Poland, Hutchins’ mother, Olga Solovey, has decided not to be there.

Instead, she released a statement through her attorney, Gloria Allred, on November 19, blaming Alec Baldwin for her daughter’s death.

“It has always been my hope to meet my daughter in Poland to see her work come to life on screen,” Solovey said in his statement.

“Unfortunately, that was taken away from me when Alec Baldwin unloaded his gun and killed my daughter. Alec Baldwin continues to add to my pain with his refusal to apologize and his refusal to take responsibility responsibility for her death,” she continued. “Instead, he seeks to profit unjustly from my daughter’s murder. This is why I refuse to participate in the festival promoting Rust, especially now that there is still no justice for my daughter.”

Gloria Allred’s statement claimed that “Baldwin’s decision not to even call the family to say he’s sorry is cruel and dishonors Halyna and her memory.”

“Now, the decision has been made to promote Rust to buyers in order to make a profit for Alec Baldwin and others who had a role in Halyna’s death,” Allred added.

She noted that Olga, her father Anatolii and her sister Svetlana “will not agree to this plan to exploit Halyna’s death.”

Baldwin’s trial in July came months after his legal team tried to throw the case out of court on various grounds. In a filing obtained by The Blast, his lawyers argued that the actor should not be prosecuted in a criminal case because he acted without criminal intent. The actor was holding the firearm on the set of the western movie when the gun went off, fatally wounding Halyna Hutchins and the hospital director. Joel Souza. The “Beetlejuice” actor insisted he never pulled the trigger on the gun.

Ahead of his trial, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer denied two motions alleging prosecutors mishandled evidence in the case. On June 24, his legal team claimed to have found evidence showing that information related to the firearm in question was never disclosed to the defense. They argued that this adversely affected “how Baldwin would have prepared for trial”.

Although Judge Sommer allowed the case to continue, she ultimately ended the trial on the third day of witness testimony when she ruled that prosecutors had not turned over relevant evidence to the defense.

Although public reaction to Baldwin’s criminal charges has been mixed, the actor’s legal team has always insisted that prosecutors were trying to mount an “ambush trial” and accused them of withholding thousands of files and releasing them to the defense only once what process took place. to get started.

In the weeks leading up to the trial, Judge Sommer also denied a motion to dismiss the case based on the defense’s claim that the FBI destroyed the gun used in the shootings during forensic testing. His legal team unsuccessfully argued that without a gun, there was no way to conclude whether or not the gun fired by itself or whether the trigger was pulled, and thus the case should be dismissed.

During forensic testing, the FBI concluded that the trigger must have been pulled for the gun to fire. However, it was never proven whether Baldwin actually pulled the trigger or whether the gun misfired.

It also remains unclear how the actual ammunition ended up on set.

On June 30, shortly before the trial began, the “Supercell” actor took to Instagram to share three photos with his wife, Hilaria Baldwinopening the carousel with a photo of her in her wedding dress.

“June 30, 2012. Although I fell in love with you the moment I met you, marrying you felt like a dream. Ups and downs. Ups and downs. 7 kids. (Plus Ireland, Andre and Holland)” , he wrote in the caption, including his daughter, Ireland Baldwinwhich he shares with ex-wife Kim Basinger.

Ireland gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Holland, with her boyfriend RAC, making Holland Alec’s first grandchild. In addition to the seven children he shares with Hilaria, the actor also mentioned that they also have four dogs and four cats before saying: “Despite some tough times for me, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Happy birthday, you’re my present.”

Reaction to the post was mixed. While some congratulated the actor on his birthday, others noted that Halyna Hutchins will never be able to celebrate another birthday due to filming on the set of “Rust.”

Although some felt the post was in poor taste, the criticism continued after Alec Baldwin announced a planned reality series with his wife and seven children just before the trial began. No release date has been set for his reality show, which is expected to debut on TLC in 2025.
