A gun supplier, Seth Kenney, filed a lawsuit claiming he was wrongly scapegoated by Alec Baldwin and others involved in the 'Rust' set shooting, alleging false accusations and poor gun safety practices contributed to the 2021 tragedy that resulted in a cinematographer's death and a director's injury.
Prosecutors claim that Alec Baldwin had "absolutely no control" over his emotions on the set of Rust, describing instances of yelling and cursing that contributed to safety compromises. They defended their decision to pursue a felony charge against Baldwin after initially dropping it, citing his attorneys' tactics and his alleged pressure on material witnesses. Baldwin is set to go to trial in July for involuntary manslaughter in the killing of Halyna Hutchins.
