The Santa Fe prosecutor charged with indicting the fatal on-set shooting by Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins has received the sheriff’s report and is now preparing to make a decision about who should be prosecuted.
Actor Alec Baldwin was holding the gun when it fired at Hutchins last October 21. He insists he didn’t pull the trigger.
Police have been closely investigating the incident for a year. Now they have handed over their final report to District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies.
In a statement this afternoon, her office said: “The prosecutor and her team of investigators and prosecutors will now begin a thorough review of the information and evidence to make an informed, timely decision about whether or not to press charges.
“As with all cases the prosecutor hears, her focus will be on maintaining the integrity of the trial, enforcing the laws of the state of New Mexico, and pursuing justice.”

She previously warned that Baldwin may be on the hook for charges and warned, “No one is above the law.”
Baldwin, who is in Vermont with his family, has not commented.
He was eviscerated last week for posting a tribute to Hutchins on Instagram on the anniversary of her death.
Baldwin shared a photo of her behind the camera and captioned the image: “A year ago today.”
The investigation into Hutchins’ death took a whole year.
During that time, several lawsuits were filed in civil court, including one filed by Hutchins’ widower, against Baldwin and the rest of the production.
He sued them for wrongful death, but they settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.

Baldwin served as producer and lead actor in the film.
On the anniversary of Hutchins’ death last week, the DA warned everyone involved.
“On the anniversary of the tragedy on the Rust movie set in Santa Fe County, District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altweis remains committed to bringing justice to the victims and getting answers for the community.
“Once the District Attorney has received the full report from the Santa Fe County Sheriff, she and her team of professional attorneys and investigators will thoroughly review all of the evidence and make an informed decision about whether or not to press charges against those involved.” .
“No one is above the law and every victim deserves justice,” she warned.
