Alec Baldwin says that he is fully cooperating with investigators over the shooting death of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, but as long as he doesn’t have to hand over his phone, apparently. There has been a search warrant put out for the actor’s phone after he refused to hand it over to local authorities in Santa Fe earlier. Here’s what you need to know.
According to reports, a search warrant has been issued for the actor’s phone. The warrant says “there may be evidence on the phone” that could be relevant to the case during which a prop gun went off. Santa Fe Magistrates court issued the warrant, requested by the Sheriff’s Department, for the phone to be seized and searched.
The Case Of Alec Baldwin’s Phone – What Is He Trying To Hide?
Court documents released on Thursday stated: “Affiant is requesting a warrant for the seizure and search of Alec Baldwin’s cell phone to search for any evidence relating to the death investigation of Halyna Hutchins.
“Affiant believes there may be evidence on the phone, due to individuals using cellular phones during and/or after the commission of crime(s). Such information, if it exists, may be material and relevant to this investigation. Affiant was also made aware there were several emails and text messages sent and received regarding the movie production Rust in the course of interviews.”
In his first interview with Good Morning America, when asked if he felt guilty over Halyna’s death, Alec Baldwin said, “No. No. I feel that… someone is responsible for what happened and I can’t say who that is, but I know it’s not me. Honest to God, if I felt that I was responsible, I might’ve killed myself if I thought that I was responsible. And I don’t say that lightly.”
He added that he dreams about the incident “constantly” and his career may well be over. “I couldn’t give a s**t about my career anymore,” he said.
If that weren’t enough, Alec said he cocked the gun, which means to hold the gun in position, that killed Hutchins but “didn’t pull the trigger.” He recalled that during the rehearsal, the film’s first assistant director, Dave Halls, handed him a revolver and told him “this is a cold gun” – an industry term for a weapon that is either empty or loaded with dummy rounds.
