圣达菲地区检察官正在领导对“铁锈”电影片场拍摄的调查亚历克·鲍德温在这次调查中，被雇来为船员辩护的律师提出了不可信的破坏理论，并在独家采访中谈到了刑事指控的可能性。
“我知道一些辩护律师提出了阴谋论，并使用了‘破坏’这个词。”我们没有任何证据，”圣达菲地区检察官玛丽·卡马克-阿尔维斯在接受美国广播公司新闻独家采访时说。
当被问及她是否认为有可能搞破坏时，卡马克-阿尔特维斯说“不”
在那起致命事件后，正在决定是否提出指控的卡马克-阿尔特维斯补充说:“检察官必须处理事实和证据。”
当被问及实弹是如何在片场结束时，卡马克-阿尔特维斯说，“我们还没有答案。”
10月21日，鲍德温在《西部》的彩排中发射了一把古董左轮手枪，杀死了电影摄影师哈林娜·哈钦斯，并打伤了导演乔尔·苏扎。
42岁的哈钦斯胸部中弹，被空运到医院后死亡。
本月早些时候，该电影《美国早安》的律师杰森·鲍尔斯(Jason Bowles)在节目中提到了破坏的想法，他说，“我们担心这可能是这里发生的事情，有人打算用一个故意放在假人盒子里的直播来破坏这个场景。”
卡马克-阿尔特维斯说，如果调查人员确定发生了破坏活动，“肯定”会有“比我们现在掌握的事实更高的谋杀指控”。
“辩护律师，我们没有和他们一样的信息，”她补充道。“但在我们掌握它之前，它不会在决策过程中发挥作用。”
在片场有这么多的失败
卡马克-阿尔特维斯说，目前的证据表明，哈钦斯的死亡是可以避免的。
“我认为最令人担忧的是，在那一集里有如此多的失败，”她说。
“我们仍然不知道他们是如何到达片场的，”她谈到现场直播时说。“我认为，他们是如何到达那里的，将是做出收费决定的最重要因素之一。”
卡马克-阿尔特维斯继续说道，“关注导致枪击的原因可能更重要。因为开枪的那一刻我们知道至少鲍德温先生不知道枪是上膛的。更重要的是那把枪是怎么上膛的?失败的程度如何?这些失败程度是犯罪吗?”
至于军械师汉娜·古铁雷斯·里德的资格，卡马克-阿尔特维斯说，“这当然是我们正在研究的领域之一。”
卡马克-阿尔特维斯拒绝透露调查人员认为是谁装的枪。她确实讨论了武器保管链的问题，比如由谁来处理。根据搜查证宣誓书，助理局长戴夫·霍尔把枪交给了亚历克·鲍德温。霍尔的一名律师告诉福克斯新闻频道，他没有。
“在宣誓书中，它说我的委托人从一辆道具车上抓起枪交给了鲍德温。这绝对没有发生，”霍尔在谈到福克斯新闻频道时说。
卡马克-阿尔特维斯重申了她的信念，认为霍尔把枪交给了鲍德温。“情况似乎确实如此，”她说。
当局表示，枪击发生时，新墨西哥州的片场有近100人，超过一半的人已经接受了采访。
“每个人最初都非常合作，”卡马克-阿尔特维斯说。“但增加律师会增加额外的复杂性——我们没有专门针对这类事件的法律。”
她补充说，在新墨西哥州，这样的案例肯定没有先例。
卡马克-阿尔维斯说，她“绝对”准备提出刑事指控。她警告说，可能还需要几个月的时间，她才能确定是否有人要负刑事责任。
她说:“我们将尽最大努力为哈利娜·哈钦斯和乔尔·索萨讨回公道。
Santa Fe DA investigating ‘Rust’ movie shooting probe: ‘We do not have any proof’ of sabotage
The Santa Fe district attorney who is leading the investigation into the “Rust” film set shooting involvingAlec Baldwindiscredited sabotage theories purported by attorneys hired to defend crew members at the center of this investigation and weighed in on the possibility of criminal charges in an exclusive interview.
"I know that some defense attorneys have come up with conspiracy theories and have used the word 'sabotage.' We do not have any proof," Mary Carmack-Altwies, the Santa Fe district attorney, said in an exclusive interview with ABC News.
When pressed if she thought sabotage was a possibility, Carmack-Altwies said "no."
Carmack-Altwies, who is deciding whether to press charges after that fatal incident, added: "Prosecutors have to deal in facts and in evidence."
When asked how live ammunition ended up on the set, Carmack-Altwies said, "We don't have an answer to that yet."
On Oct. 21, Baldwin discharged an antique revolver during a dress rehearsal for the Western, killing the film's cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, and wounding its director, Joel Souza.
Hutchins, 42, was struck in the chest and died after being airlifted to a hospital.
Earlier this month, Jason Bowles, an attorney for the film's armorer, spoke on "Good Morning America," raised the idea of sabotage, saying, "We're afraid that could have been what happened here, that somebody intended to sabotage this set with a live round intentionally placed in a box of dummies."
Carmack-Altwies said there would "certainly" be "a higher level of murder charge than we would potentially be looking at with the facts that we have now" if investigators determined sabotage occurred.
"The defense attorneys, we don't have the same information that they do," she added. "But until we have it in our hands, it doesn't play into the decision-making process."
‘So many levels of failure on set’
Carmack-Altwies said evidence so far suggests that Hutchins' death was avoidable.
"I think the most concerning thing is that there were so many levels of failures on that set," she said.
"We still don't know how they got on the set," she said of the live rounds. "And how they got there I think will be one of the most important factors going into a charging decision."
Carmack-Altwies continued, "It's probably more important to focus on what led up to the shooting. Because the moment of the shooting we know that at least Mr. Baldwin had no idea that the gun was loaded. So it's more how did that gun get loaded? What levels of failure happened? And were those levels of failure criminal?"
As for armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed's qualifications, Carmack-Altwies said, "That's one of the areas of inquiry that we are certainly pursuing."
Carmack-Altwies declined to say who investigators believe loaded the gun. She did discuss the question of chain of custody of the weapon as to who handled it though. According to a search warrant affidavit, the assistant director, Dave Halls, handed the gun to Alec Baldwin. An attorney for Halls told Fox News he did not.
"In the affidavits, it states that my client grabbed the gun off of a prop cart and handed it to Baldwin. That absolutely did not happen," Halls said on Fox News.
Carmack-Altwies reiterated her belief that Halls handed the gun to Baldwin. "That does seem to be the case," she said.
Authorities said nearly 100 people were on the New Mexico set when the shooting occurred and more than half have already been interviewed.
"Everyone initially was very cooperative," Carmack-Altwies said. "But adding in attorneys adds in an extra level of complication -- we don't have laws that have been written for this kind of incident."
She added that there is certainly no precedent for a case like this in New Mexico.
Carmack-Altwies said she is "absolutely" prepared to press criminal charges. She warns it could be months more before she can determine if anyone is criminally liable.
"We will do our best to get justice for Halyna Hutchins and Joel Sousa," she said.
