a complaint against the actor for “dangerous behavior”

Actor Alec Baldwin, author the fatal gunshot that killed Halyna Hutchins on the set of western Rust, To “played Russian roulette” when he handled a weapon without respecting the safety rules in force in the film industry, accuses a complaint filed against him, Wednesday, November 17, in Los Angeles.

Mamie Mitchell, employed as a scriptwriter on the set, is the second member of the film crew to file a complaint against Alec Baldwin and the other producers. She had called for help just after the tragedy, to confide in them suffering from “emotional distress” and other disorders resulting from injury “intentionally caused” by production.

“The events which led to the triggering of a loaded weapon by Alec Baldwin do not constitute mere negligence”script attorney Gloria Allred said at a press conference in Los Angeles. “On the contrary, from our point of view, Alec Baldwin chose to play Russian roulette when he activated a weapon without having checked it and without the gunsmith having done so in his presence”, argued the lawyer.

“Alec Baldwin’s behavior and that of the producers of ‘Rust’ was dangerous.”
