Alec Baldwin could still face 'Rust' criminal charges despite settlement, DA says: 'No one is above the law'
Fox News
Alec Baldwin may still face criminal charges stemming from the Santa Fe shooting as the DA's office is still actively investigating the cinematographer's death.
"While civil suits are settled privately and often involve financial awards, criminal cases deal only in facts. If the facts and evidence warrant criminal charges under New Mexico law then charges will be brought. No one is above the law." Tracy Wright is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.

Hutchins was killed on the New Mexico set of the Western film and director Joel Souza was wounded by a bullet when live ammunition was accidentally loaded into a weapon fired by Baldwin while rehearsing a scene in a church. The actor has since denied he pulled the trigger of the gun that killed Hutchins.
