WHILE Alec Baldwin celebrated beating manslaughter charges for fatally shooting a cinematographer on the set of the illfated movie Rust, sources say some members of the crew are furious the actor escaped justice for killing their friend! Baldwin, 66, faced ZERO consequences in a criminal case for holding the antique handgun that fired a live round and killed 42-year-old Halyna Hutchins - because the judge determined the prosecution botched the handling of evidence.
Now, insiders say there's a feeling among the crew the Emmy winner who also served as a producer of the film cheated justice! "He gets off scot-free because he's a star," fumes a set spy. "Just because you're a celebrity, you shouldn't be exempt from the law." The film's budget was a relatively scant $7.3 million, which sources say meant cutting corners on salaries. Baldwin was reportedly paid $150,000 for his starring role, and inexperienced armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, 27, earned less than $8,000.
