As a result of this cameraman Galina Hutchins was killed and director Joel Souza was injured. After that, work on the film was suspended. At first, Galina's relatives were not going to sue the actor. But then her husband did not like his statements in an interview. It seemed to the man that Baldwin wanted to shift the responsibility to the deceased, saying that she herself asked to point the gun towards her cell. And he doesn't feel any remorse at all. But Galina had a small child.

As a result, Alec was charged with manslaughter and he was threatened with a year and a half in prison. But today it became known that the charges against him were dropped.

And assistant director David Halls, who gave Alec a loaded gun, was sentenced to six months' probation. Read more: 1 2 next. →
