I would assume that New Mexico, like many (if not most) states, allows representatives of the victim(s) to speak and provide evidence at sentencing PRECISELY as a way to potentially influence the judge's decision.

so does her sentencing benefit Alec Bladwin? as he can pt. finger at her and make her takes all the blame for it?
Probably not as much as he wants.
As a Producer, he's her boss, and thus, at least partially, responsible for ensuring that the people he hires are good at their jobs, and follow the rules. However, I don't know if he was actually in charge of the hiring decisions, I would assume not.
It's possible, but I'm fairly sure it would have been mentioned at this point by someone if that was the case.

I want to understand something: how can 2 different person be charged w/ the same crime on the same person?
shouldn't only 1 out of 2 people be responsible ? I mean,she only dies once.

On related news, I feel that Halyna Hutchins IS "Yesterday's Enterprise" from ST: TNG

her death, potentially saves life. Her death saves some future life of all these future hollywood production that would have been using real guns.
Look at the above link from Dwayne "The GENIUS" Johnson, when he said "
will no longer use real firearms in his productions"
you know what that means? that he has been using real guns all these times. So Halyna IS, in fact, Yesterday's Enterprise

That's not how responsibility works, legally. Culpability is a huge aspect of law cases, and can result in charges.
Troll account. Nobody is this dense.
And nobody is this obvious about breaking the forum rules. Infraction for flaming, comments to PM.
Baldwin has lost his latest bid to have the prosecution thrown out:

I absolutely agree w/ this. The FBI broke that gun, they then make another gun and call that evidence to replace the one that they broke. The defense legal team is going to grill the FBI agent alive on that. As that is called fabrication fake evidence. The gun that the FBI broke, is the only 1 that matter, any other gun is immaterial to the case, and shouldn't even be allow in the court of law
no, I joined back in Apr. 2021
That can't be a coincidence.......
Alec Baldwin engaged in ‘horseplay’ with firearm before deadly ‘Rust’ shooting, prosecutors say:
(Obligatory "innocent until proven guilty" disclaimer here).
- According to court documents obtained by ETonline, the 66-year-old leading man engaged in “horseplay” during firearm training, including one instance when he fired a blank round at a crew member, whom he’d been using to establish his line of sight. Prosecutors further alleged Baldwin was also “erratic and aggressive” during filming, contributing to safety concerns on set. Baldwin would also allegedly use his prop firearm as a pointer, relying on it to acknowledge and direct different people while filming. Prosecutors in their latest filing additionally accused him of firing the weapon on at least one occasion despite the fact that “cut” had already been called.
(Obligatory "innocent until proven guilty" disclaimer here).
Honestly, the lack of firearm discipline is just appalling to me. I get it-not everyone grows up around guns, or learns all the rules of firearm safety, but this is a professional actor who has worked with firearms before and this behavior sounds more in line with the 10 year old I saw a convention grabbing one of the prop swords from an SCA demonstration and started swinging it around.
The culture on this set is baffling.
Yeah, the more I hear about it, the more I think the movie was doomed from the get-go. How they weren't following basic procedure protocols is baffling. When all is said and done, if that's how careless they were on set, it was only a matter of time before an accident happened.
Hexum: October 18, 1984
Lee: March 31, 1993
Hutchins: October 21, 2021
A little less than nine years between the first two and then about eighteen years for the most recent.
Interesting enough, in oral arguments today on Baldwin's latest motion to dismiss, the Brandon Lee case seemed to be a factor for both the DA and Judge in denying the motion:
(Judge) Sommer seemed to have a hard time buying the defense’s POV.
“As an actor he is not supposed to be pointing a gun at someone,” she told Bash and the others joining in on today’s hearing, citing SAG-AFTRA rules.
“He pulled the trigger when he was pointing a gun that he didn’t need to point,” the judge noted.
“What Mr. Bash is telling the court which is absolutely false – unless this gun has a live round in it it is complexly harmless,” Morrissey said in her own response. “This gun can only kill someone if it’s got live ammunition in it,” she added, citing the 1993 on-set death of Brandon Lee on The Crow. “Absolutory false, and Mr. Baldwin knew that was false.”
