According to People, Halyna Hutchins’ family lawyer wants Alec Baldwin to man up, or at least stop pointing his finger at other people when it comes to the accidental death of the late cinematographer. Baldwin told ABC News in December that he believes someone else is responsible for what happened, despite him holding the gun that killed Hutchins. He said, “I mean, honest to God, if I felt that I was responsible, I might have killed myself if I thought I was responsible. I don’t say that lightly.”
The attorney for Hutchins’ family, Brian Panish, said on NewsNation‘s “Dan Abrams Live” that Baldwin’s recollection of events as they happened seems to be sketchy. Panish said that the actor “caused a death that was reckless and never needed to happen,” adding that he’s also not accepting any responsibility. Panish said, “He lays off fault on others when, in fact, but for him shooting the gun, Halyna is still here today. … Baldwin, again, is in complete denial, accepting no responsibility, and we look forward to letting the folks, the community in Santa Fe County determine his responsibility.” While there’s no word yet on whether or not Baldwin will respond via his Instagram page, his situation certainly isn’t looking good.
