The FBI’s weird relationship with Alec Baldwin
By John Green
Is it just me, or does the Alec Baldwin manslaughter case seem strange?
After a person was killed while working on a movie set, manslaughter charges were filed, then dropped, and then refiled. The FBI was used to test the evidence, but then the evidence was taken away from the FBI and sent to a private lab. What gives?
As a recap, in October of 2021, Alec Baldwin accidently shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins while filming his new movie Rust. Baldwin claimed that the revolver he was holding for the western went off without pulling the trigger. After a year of investigating the matter, New Mexico prosecutors charged Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter in January of 2023, but then mysteriously dropped the charges three months later. Their explanation for dropping the charges was that “new evidence” had come to light.
On January 19, 2024, a New Mexico grand jury indicted Alec Baldwin again. Now we are learning the nature of the “new evidence.” It turns out that the FBI had broken the revolver while testing it. It seems that components of the weapon were broken while analysts attempted to show that the gun could go off without pulling the trigger, as Baldwin had claimed it had. To be specific, they hit the revolver with a mallet, attempting to make it go off. I suspect that the prosecutors were a bit nervous about making their case using evidence that had been compromised by the forensic lab they had selected.
