Facing a potential refiling of criminal charges in the fatal 2021 shooting of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, Alec Baldwin on Wednesday failed in an attempt to have a civil case over the tragedy dismissed.
In a technically challenged virtual hearing this morning before New Mexico’s First Judicial District Court judge Bryan Biedscheid, Baldwin and co-defendants El Dorado Pictures and Rust Movie Productions’ motion to dismiss was denied. The judge also denied an additional motion to stay the matter until the criminal trial is over.
Earlier this year, Rust crew members Ross Addiego, Doran Curtin and Reese Price took Baldwin and the production companies to court for “negligent and reckless conduct.” Facing a plethora of cases arising out of the shooting on the indie Western, the defendants had a back-up plan to have the Addiego, Curtin and Price case stayed until the Rust criminal trial is over.
Proclaiming that he “doesn’t’ know” the state of “criminal prosecution with Mr. Baldwin” at present, Biedscheid said today it was “surprisingly common” that a defendant straddled both a criminal and civil case. Seemingly leaning towards not pausing this matter, the judge did open the door to defendants’ being able to “assert their constitutional rights as they see fit” going forward as he denied the stay.
