A New Mexico county sheriff on Monday made public case files from his department's investigation of last year's shooting death on the set of the film "Rust" but said a formal decision on criminal charges would depend on analysis of ballistics, DNA and the phone of actor and producer Alec Baldwin.
The state of New Mexico last week fined Rust Movie Productions the maximum amount possible, $137,000, for what it called "willful" safety lapses leading to the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
