Alec Baldwin’s recharge in the “Rust” shooting case may come off as bizarre, and to lawyer Ted Spaulding it is. He told Nicki Swift, “It is not common for someone to be recharged for a crime.” Baldwin’s case, however, is high-profile and unusual to a typical criminal case.
Lawyer Miguel Custodio had a different opinion on Baldwin’s potential to recharge. Custodio exclusively told Nicki Swift it’s not unusual for prosecutors to gather more evidence to “strengthen their case.” He explained, “Prosecutors say they now have new information and additional facts to bring to a grand jury, which they claim shows that Alec Baldwin has criminal culpability in Halyna Hutchins’ death.”

For Custodio, this potential criminal charge toward Baldwin reveals that the actor may be more than just “the man who squeezed the trigger.” Custodio suggested, “But remember, he was also the producer of this chaotic mess of a film set. So does this new evidence connect to cost-cutting and shortcuts that led to a gun being used for target practice then finding its way onto the set?” Although nothing has been confirmed, prosecutors announced they would bring the new evidence to the grand jury in New Mexico, which to Custodio, means they are confident that the jury will feel that Baldwin does deserve a criminal charge. One thing Custodio and Spaulding agree on, is that this new recharge will not affect Baldwin’s settlement with Hutchins’ family.
