Deadly accident The assistant who gave the gun to Alec Baldwin breaks his silence
Scandal Alec Baldwin's 'cursed' assistant and a suspicious gunsmith
Attorneys for
Hannah Gutierrez Reed
, the gunsmith on the set in which Alec Baldwin accidentally killed
Halyna Hutchins
, believe someone may have tried to sabotage the recording by introducing live ammunition into the studio.
"I think someone who would do that would want to sabotage the set, they would want to prove something, they would want to say that they are upset, that they are not happy," attorney
Jason Bowles
theorized
during a live interview with NBC's Today program.
The representative of the armory justified his hypothesis by recalling that
there were members of the team who protested the day before the accident
due to the alleged precarious conditions in which they worked and that hours before the fatal shot occurred a group of cameras left the studio.
"There were people who left the set because they were unhappy. And there was a period of time, between 11:00 and 13:00, approximately, in which the firearms were unattended, so there was an opportunity to alter the scene Bowels justified.
The other lawyer for the
gunsmith
,
Robert Gorence
, explained that his client was also a set supervisor, which made it impossible for him to be aware of the weapons during breaks despite being the ultimate responsible for the weapons present in the study.
In addition, the 24-year-old's lawyers have explained that
she was not required to be present at the trial
where the accident occurred because it was a camera test in which, in principle, the weapons were not going to be used.
The lawyers insisted that Gutierrez Reed loaded the pistol with bullets that were in a box labeled
"fake ammunition"
and that she never put real bullets in that container nor does she know how they got there.
Santa Fe Sheriff
Adan Mendoza
said last week that he had found about 500 rounds of ammunition including a mixture of "blank cartridges, dummy bullets and real bullets."
Gutierrez Reed's performance is of special interest in the investigation being carried out by the authorities of
New Mexico (USA)
, since he is one of the two people who handled the weapon before it came into the hands of Baldwin.
The other, assistant director Dave Halls, admitted Wednesday that he did not properly check the pistol before handing it over to Baldwin shouting
"cold gun,"
which in Hollywood slang is used to confirm that the gun is in good condition. downloaded for use.
While the official investigations are progressing, other details have become known, such as that that assistant was fired from another filming in 2019 for a similar incident although, fortunately, he did not injure anyone.
The sheriff has stressed that
"no one is excluded"
from being able to incur criminal charges.
