Alec Baldwin has filed a civil lawsuit alleging malicious prosecution and civil rights violations related to the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie Rust. Baldwin claims that prosecutors mishandled evidence and defamed him, naming several officials as defendants. He argues that they scapegoated him for others' actions and sought personal gain. Hutchins died during a rehearsal when Baldwin's gun discharged, and Baldwin insists he did not pull the trigger. The case also involves a separate conviction of weapons supervisor Hannah Gutierrez-Reed for involuntary manslaughter.
