Alec Baldwin claimed that he was following Halyna Hutchins’ directions when he pointed what turned out to be a gun loaded with live rounds at her on the set of the movie ‘Rust’ and pulled the trigger, killing the cinematographer, according to a new court document.
The actor made this allegation in an arbitration demand that his lawyers filed on Friday against his fellow producers. The document also maintains that Baldwin’s contract protected him from financial responsibility related to Hutchins’ death.
Baldwin has been named as a defendant in multiple lawsuits that have been filed in connection with the fatal shooting.
