The lawyer representing slain Hollywood moviemaker Halyna Hutchins has stated that it is shameful that actor Alec Baldwin is ‘trying to avoid responsibility’ over the death of the cinematographer.
The attorney made the comments in a statement in reply to Alec Baldwin’s latest attempt to to invoke a ‘legal indemnity’ clause in his Rust movie contract that would effectively release him from any responsibility in Halyna Hutchins’ death.
‘Alec Baldwin once again is trying to avoid liability and accountability for his reckless actions before and on Oct 21st that resulted in the death of Halyna Hutchins,’ the attorneys said in a statement, per Deadline.
‘It is shameful that Baldwin claims Hutchins’ actions in filing a wrongful death lawsuit derailed the completion of Rust. The only action that ended the film’s production was Baldwin’s killing of Halyna Hutchins.’
The statement refers to claims made in Baldwin’s recent court filings that he had attempted to restart production on Rust, having reportedly believed that it should be completed as a tribute to the cinematographer and her family.
