•   Legal observers tell DailyMail.com the decision may be part of an effort to shift and potentially shield assets from lawsuits that could cost him a fortune

•   The legal experts speculate Baldwin could be tempted to place millions into a trust for his eight children or buy property in Florida

•   The Hutchins family is pursuing a wrongful death lawsuit against the actor

Alec Baldwin buried his head in his hands when he answered a cell phone call Monday, just hours after it was revealed that a New Mexico prosecutor was looking to file criminal charges against him in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, exclusive DailyMail.com photos reveal.

The apparent scene of despair, coming after a weekend in which he welcomed his eighth child into the world, unfolded after he arrived at Domino Park in Brooklyn, where he took a stroll with his children along the East River near the Williamsburg Bridge.

He stood alone for 10 minutes on the phone call, grim faced and displaying heavy bags under his eyes while hunched over a fence overlooking the river. At another point, he could be seen with an armful of popcorn and a water bottle, a blue mask covering his mouth but not his nose.

Earlier in the day, news broke that New Mexico prosecutors may charge the actor, after he handed over his cellphone to be considered as evidence.

In a letter to the state's financial board, asking for funding to prosecute the high-profile case, Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies said she was 'ready' to file charges against four people.

She stopped short of confirming the charges she planned to bring but said she was 'certainly looking (at) all the homicide statutes and any gun statutes under New Mexico criminal code'.

'One of the possible defendants is well known movie actor Alec Baldwin,' she wrote, adding that there could be four separate criminal trials.

Meanwhile, the Hutchins family is pursuing a wrongful death lawsuit against the actor. And earlier this month, a judge ruled he was primarily responsible for firing the shot that killed Hutchins during the filming of Rust in New Mexico last October.

His tone has certainly changed since: "No! NO! NO!!  I never pulled the trigger!"

It's a shame he can "shield" his assets after the fact when facing accountability.  Maybe permit 10% or something so the family isn't left destitute.

AFAIC, he should face the full brunt of his asinine behavior.

That's a lot of ego to have such a long fall....

From everything I've read, he can't --- and stay married to Hilaria.

This guy repeatedly ran his mouth about gunowners and sticking it to them, and now it's been brought back to the kitchen.

Eat that crow Alec, and you don't get no salt or pepper.

Thanks for the info.

I have always believed that Alec did what he did intentionally. He just didn't know the gun was loaded with a live round. Reports said that he and the director Halyna were having differences over how he should act during the scene and Alec was getting frustrated. We all know that Alec is not one for taking disagreements or 'directions' lightly.

I think he shot at her subliminally out of an expression of anger and frustration. My opinion is that the intent was to startle her with a blank round and to show dominance. And then after she was shot, his only concern was not for the injured but rather to cover it up as quickly as possible. Until he realized a cover-up was impossible.

Just my stupid take on it.

It is beyond extraordinary, isn't is?
