Rust assistant director Dave Halls corroborated actor Alec Baldwin’s claim that he did not pull the trigger in the fatal movie set incident.

Lisa Torraco, Halls’s lawyer, said Halls always maintained that Baldwin did not have his finger on the trigger when the gun went off. The assistant director was just feet away from Baldwin when the gun went off in October, fatally striking cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza.
