A new report in regards to the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins puts actor Alec Baldwin in a tough spot.
According to the FBI forensic report, Baldwin pulled the trigger on the gun that killed Hutchins, which contradicts a previous claim that he made.
The report stated, according to ABC News, that theFBI conducted an accidental discharge test and determined the gun “could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger.”
When the 45 Colt caliber F.lli Pietta single-action revolver’s hammer was in the quarter and half-cock positions, the test showed that the gun would not fire without the trigger being pulled.
The gun “could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger while the working internal components were intact and functional” when the hammer was in the fully cocked position.
In a prior interview that was also conducted with ABC News, Baldwin insisted, “The trigger wasn’t pulled. I didn’t pull the trigger.”
The Santa Fe Sheriffs’ detectives received the FBI’s completed forensic reports on Aug. 2, according to a press release, and they were then forwarded to the New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator (OMI) “for review.”
Detectives with the homicide and computer crimes unit at the Suffolk County Police Department in New York are still actively assisting the Santa Fe Sheriffs’ office in obtaining and processing Alec Baldwin’s phone records, per the release.
Journalist Jack Posobiec noted that “Alec Baldwin didn’t even turn over his phone for weeks after he shot and killed a staffer. No FBI raids.”
