Prosecutors previously announced that Baldwin would be charged with two counts of manslaughter for the death of Hutchins. New Mexico’s first judicial district attorney, Mary Carmack-Altwies, is expected to formally file charges on Tuesday.
“The District Attorney and Special Prosecutor are fully focused on securing justice for Halyna Hutchins,” Heather Brewer, a spokeswoman for the First Judicial District Attorney’s Office, said Monday. “The evidence and the facts speak for themselves.”
Baldwin was holding the gun which discharged, hitting and killing Hutchins during rehearsals. Hilaria, who gave birth to the couple’s seventh child together in September, said their family was feeling the stress of the impending trial.

We can’t deny that they don’t feel the energy and pick up on certain things in the family and at home,” he said. she continued on the podcast. Their children are 9 to 4 months old.

“On a human level, you know I’m not going to tell you anything. You know that,” she told photographers. “So please leave my family alone and let this all play out. Okay? So let my kids come home and stay away from them. Because they’re like, ‘Mom… what are these people doing ?’ And it’s a very difficult thing as a mother to try to explain. So please go home, because I won’t say anything and Alec won’t say anything.”
Baldwin intends to fight the charges.
“This decision distorts the tragic death of Halyna Hutchins and represents a terrible miscarriage of justice. Mr. Baldwin had no reason to believe there was a live bullet in the gun – or anywhere on set said the actor’s attorney, Luke Nikas of Quinn Emanuel. , told Yahoo Entertainment earlier this month. “He relied on the professionals he worked with, who assured him that the gun had no live ammunition. We will fight these accusations, and we will win.”
