Alec Baldwin thinks he's being charged because he's rich

Alec Baldwin thinks he knows why he's being blamed for the crash that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust.

It's not because he was holding the gun from which the fatal bullet left, but quite simply… because he is rich.

While invited to the Boulder International Film Festival in Colorado, the actor was asked about the tragedy.

And his answer is surprising to say the least.

"What you have is a certain group of people, on the prosecution side, whose attitude is, 'Well, people who seem negligent don't have money and people who have money are not negligent".

Throughout my career, without incident, I trusted the safety experts present on the spot to declare that the weapon was safe and I never had a problem, and here this accident happens…”, has he explained, according to CNN.

Two levels of protection

Alec Baldwin drives the point home by saying that the actors are unable to make any decisions about safety on set.

And that two people walked past him, saying the gun was safe.

"When someone, whose job is to keep a gun safe, hands it over to someone else, whose job is to be the second level of protection for the safety of that gun, and he gives it to you, you tell yourself that this weapon is safe.

That's how I've done my whole life, because you're not allowed as an actor to declare the weapon… I mean, the joke is you don't want that the actors carry out the security checks themselves.

Not sure that the "joke" amuses the family of Halyna Hutchins, who names Alec Baldwin among the defendants in his complaint against the production.
