actor Alec Baldwin for a rehearsal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Production stopped abruptly when Baldwin shot a live round, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the movie&#8217;s New Mexico set.<\/p>\n<p>Two

Gutierrez-Reed handed a bag of cocaine to another person on the evening after Hutchins was shot.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Special prosecutors Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis previously filed a motion stating that they have a confidential witness that will testify.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The witness is expected to claim that Gutierrez-Reed handed off the drugs after returning from her initial police interview.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The circumstances of the transfer of evidence strongly support the charge that the defendant transferred the cocaine to avoid prosecution and prevent law enforcement from obtaining highly inculpatory evidence directly related the defendant&#8217;s handling of the firearm and the circumstances of the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins,&#8217; the prosecutors wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/10\/21\/74183867-12394565-image-a-15_1691698645954.jpg\"

Baldwin after losing several pretrial rulings.<\/p>\n<p>He has said in interviews that he was told the gun was safe and that he never pulled the trigger.<\/p>\n<p>Santa Fe County prosecutors could still decide to file new counts after sending the gun for further testing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Investigators are first looking into suggestions the gun could have fired without him pulling the

agreed to pay a $100,000 fine.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a
