Alec Baldwin, ‘Rust’ Producers Face Wrongful Death Lawsuit From Halyna Hutchins’ Family
Other defendants named in the lawsuit filed in Santa Fe County include the production’s assistant director Dave Halls, who handed Baldwin the firearm that shot Hutchins, and the production’s prop master, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.The lawsuit has long been expected since Hutchins’ husband hired the law firm Panish Shea Boyle Ravipudi LLP, which specializes in wrongful death lawsuits, this past November. One of the firm’s partners, Bryan Panish, is serving as lead lawyer on the case after securing a $2.2 billion settlement for victims of California wildfires and mudslides last year.
