The film's chief lighting technician Serge Svetnoy says in his lawsuit that the killing was due to"negligent acts and omissions" on set, as he details rushing to help Hutchins after the incident.of a cinematographer last month, lawyers said Wednesday. "Simply put, there was no reason for a live bullet to be placed in that .45 Colt revolver or to be present anywhere on theset, and the presence of a bullet in a revolver posed a lethal threat to everyone in its vicinity," the suit, submitted to a Los Angeles court, says.
The Emmy-winner was handed the firearm by Halls, who declared it"cold" - industry lingo for an inert weapon. Halls later told investigators he had not fully checked it.Svetnoy, who had worked with Hutchins on a number of previous films said he was close when Baldwin fired the gun on 21 October. "We are asking for a full and complete investigation of all of the facts, including the live rounds themselves, how they ended up in the 'dummies' box, and who put them in there," attorney Jason Bowles said.
