As much as Alec Baldwin has insisted he was not responsible for the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, he considered taking a plea last month in the two-year-old case, which has led to critics branding him a “killer” and has put his long-heralded film and TV career in jeopardy.NBC News, citing two sources, reported Wednesday that Baldwin and special prosecutors in Santa Fe County, New Mexico, had discussed his taking a plea deal in the October 2021 shooting on the set of the Western film “Rust.” It’s not known what charges Baldwin considered as part of a plea deal, according to NBC News.But the talks ended when special prosecutors announced last month that “additional facts have come to light,” which they believe shows that Baldwin has “criminal culpability” in Hutchins’ death.
