The legal drama between Baldwin\u2019s legal team and special prosecutor Kari T. Morrissey has spilled into headlines for some time now. In her latest court filing on July 18, Morrissey alleged that Alec Baldwin was negligent with a firearm even before Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot and killed at the Bonanza Creek Ranch on October 21, 2021.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In court documents obtained by TMZ<\/span>, the \u201cSupercell\u201d actor allegedly was reckless with a gun when he \u201crecklessly pointed and fired a blank round at a crew member while using the crew member as a line of site.\u201d Morrissey also claims that the prosecution has evidence that Baldwin would use the gun to point at people when directing crew members.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Alec Baldwin is collaborating with director Joel Souza<\/strong><\/span> on the indie Western film. Souza was also hospitalized as a result of the incident when the bullet passed through Halyna Hutchins and struck him. At one point, prosecutors allege that Alec Baldwin fired a revolver after Souza had already yelled \u201cCut!\u201d when rehearsing a scene.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Prosecutors also claim that he filmed several scenes with his finger on the trigger of his gun, even when scenes did not call for the gun to be fired. This was something that director Joel Souza had testified to during Hannah Gutierrez-Reed\u2019s trial, although admitting that Alec Baldwin did not load the firearm with live ammunition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Although it remains to be seen if Hannah Gutierrez-Reed will testify during the trial, the prosecution alleges that they have evidence that Alec Baldwin would rush the rookie armorer to reload in between takes. Hannah Gutierrez-Reed had only worked on one set prior to filming \u201cRust\u201d and had been stressed trying to complete duties as both armorer and prop master.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It seems that the prosecution\u2019s case might heavily involve the jailed armorer, as they also allege that Hannah Gutierrez-Reed had difficulty getting Alec Baldwin to pay attention during training sessions. They allege that Baldwin would text or FaceTime his family during firearm safety training, instead of paying attention to his lessons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI am a nurse who sometimes works in schools. Guess what – even wee kindergarten kids put on makeup and wear it to school. Little girls wear tutus, tiaras, and poorly applied blue and green eye shadow. They are PLAYING!

My god, it\u2019s very obvious they are excellent parents.
