Alec Baldwin said he didn’t pull the trigger in the “Rust” shooting.
He now has an important ally in that theory – the Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies. She had her investigators perform a test in her office to see if a mechanical malfunction could have resulted in an accidental firing. It found that the hammer could have caused the gun to discharge a bullet. That finding could get Alec off the hook for criminal charges.
