Alec Baldwin shooting victim was wife of Latham & Watkins lawyer

Oct 23 - The husband of Halyna Hutchins, the cinematographer who was fatally shot by actor Alec Baldwin with a prop gun on Thursday, is a corporate lawyer in Latham & Watkins' Los Angeles office.

Matt Hutchins joined Latham as an associate this year. Earlier he was an in-house lawyer at an entertainment company and practiced at Kirkland & Ellis and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, according to his LinkedIn profile.

"Our loss is enormous," Hutchins said on Twitter late Friday. Hutchins told news outlets earlier in the day that he had spoken with Baldwin and said the actor was supportive. He could not be immediately reached for comment. A Latham spokesperson declined to comment.

Halyna Hutchins was killed when Baldwin discharged a prop firearm on the set of his Western movie "Rust" in New Mexico. The Santa Fe Sheriff's Department said it is investigating the incident, which also left the film's director, Joel Souza, injured.

Baldwin posted on social media Friday that he was in shock, writing, "My heart is broken for her husband, their son, and all who knew and loved Halyna."

Hutchins, 42, who was originally from Ukraine and grew up on a Soviet military base in the Arctic Circle, once worked as an investigative reporter in Europe, according to her website.

She graduated from the American Film Institute in 2015 and was selected as one of American Cinematographer's Rising Stars of 2019, according to her website biography.

Clinton's indicted campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann files motion to DISMISS charges in the Durham probe: Claims it was an overreach to accuse him of lying to a federal agent as Hillary spying claims

 

Hillary Clinton's campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann's legal team filed a motion for John Durham to dismiss his case against their client

They claim the case 'cannot give rise to criminal liability' because it does not dispute the details fo the 'tip' he provided in linking Trump to a Russian bank

Durham accused Sussmann of lying to then-FBI General Counsel James Baker by saying he wasn't hired by anyone to find the ties

Now released evidence Sussmann was paid by Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign

Sussmann's team of four lawyers accused Durham of seeking to 'taint' the jury pool and 'inflame' the media with his filing last Friday

 

'Unfortunately, the Special Counsel has done more than simply file a document identifying potential conflicts of interest. Rather, the Special Counsel has again made a filing in this case that unnecessarily includes prejudicial—and false—allegations that are irrelevant to his Motion and to the charged offense, and are plainly intended to politicize this case, inflame media coverage, and taint the jury pool,' write four lawyers from Latham & Watkins in their response.

Arizona Jews sue to stop the state from using Zyklon B in executions

Outlawed by the state in 1992, the toxic gas employed by the Nazis at Auschwitz can still be used on those sentenced before the ban; Jewish leaders call it ‘cruel and barbarous’

Jewish News of Greater Phoenix via JTA — Leaders of Arizona’s Jewish community are suing the state to prevent it from using hydrogen cyanide, the same lethal gas that was deployed at Auschwitz, to carry out capital punishment.

During the Holocaust, the Nazis used pellets of Zyklon B, a hydrogen cyanide formulation, in the gas chambers at Auschwitz and other death camps. At the height of Auschwitz’s operations in 1943 and 1944, an average of 6,000 Jews were gassed to death each day there.

Using the gas in executions in the United States is “tantamount to approving of what the Nazis did,” said Janice Friebaum, former vice president and spokesperson for the Phoenix Holocaust Association.

“It’s a very painful way to kill a person and it’s fundamentally inhumane,” Friebaum said. “To think that it was done to millions of people during the Holocaust is horrific enough, but to think that 70 to 80 years later we’re thinking of using it as a method of capital punishment is mind-boggling.”

Arizona ended the use of execution by lethal gas in 1992, but allowed the use of gas for people who had already been sentenced at that time, leaving 17 people potentially subject to this form of execution. The state is currently seeking warrants of execution for two death row inmates, Frank Atwood and Clarence Dixon, both of whom would be eligible to be executed by gas.

Jewish community files lawsuit to prohibit use of gas deployed at Auschwitz for executions

The Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Phoenix (JCRC) and two local Jewish community members are suing the state of Arizona in hopes of preventing capital punishment by hydrogen cyanide, the same lethal gas that was deployed at Auschwitz.

Paul Rockower, executive director of the JCRC and one of the plaintiffs, said the lawsuit is narrowly focused. “We are not arguing the merits of the death penalty, nor the guilt or innocence of the defendants – simply that because of our tragic history we have a unique lens to declare that the use of Zyklon B is a cruel and barbarous practice whose usage has no place in modern society." The other plaintiff, Alan Zeichick, is a board member of JCRC.

During World War II, the Auschwitz camp in German-occupied Poland and others were designed for the use of pellets of Zyklon B – a hydrogen cyanide formulation. At the height of the deportations of Jews from 1943 to 1944, an average of 6,000 Jews were killed each day at Auschwitz.

Janice Friebaum, former vice president and spokesperson for the Phoenix Holocaust Association, shared that survivors and their descendants are horrified that the state is considering the possibility of using a gas that’s either the same or a derivative of what was used during the Holocaust.

“It's a very painful way to kill a person and it's fundamentally inhumane. To think that it was done to millions of people during the Holocaust is horrific enough, but to think that 70 to 80 years later we're thinking of using it as a method of capital punishment is mindboggling,” said Friebaum. “There are clearly other more humane methods available for the state to consider. Also, the use of this poison for mass extermination of human beings was essentially an innovation of the Nazis. So if the state of Arizona is considering mimicking that, we, the survivors and their descendants, see that as tantamount to approving of what the Nazis did.”

“Under no circumstances should the same method of execution used to murder over one million people, including Jews, during the Holocaust be used in the execution of people on death row,” said Jared Keenan, senior staff attorney with the ACLU of Arizona. “Arizona has acknowledged the horrors of cyanide gas as a method of execution and eliminated it in all but a narrow set of cases – it’s time the court eliminates the use of cyanide gas for execution once and for all. Regardless of where people stand on the matter of capital punishment, it’s clear that use of this barbaric practice is cruel and must be abolished.”

>Jewish community files lawsuit to prohibit use of gas deployed at Auschwitz for executions

Last April, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said he had notified the Arizona Supreme Court that the state intended to seek warrants of execution for two death row inmates, Frank Atwood and Clarence Dixon. In response, the Arizona Supreme Court threw out the schedule that would lead to the execution warrants on July 12, 2021, delaying the projected dates for their executions. Then on Jan. 5, 2022, Brnovich asked the Arizona Supreme Court to set briefing schedules to allow his office (AGO) to file warrants of execution for Atwood and Dixon. The AGO asks the Arizona Supreme Court to establish firm briefing schedules before filing the execution warrants to ensure the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry (ADCRR ) can comply with its testing and disclosure obligations.

The men can select either lethal injection or gas under a state law that allows them the choice because they committed murders before Nov. 23, 1992, Brnovich said in a statement.

The Arizona Legislature ended the use of execution by lethal gas in 1992, but it left in place the use of gas for people who had already been sentenced at that time, leaving 17 people potentially subject to this form of execution.

The lawsuit alleges the state statute that allows for cyanide to be used for a form of execution violates Arizona State Constitution’s prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment.

Arizona has not carried out an execution since 2014, and the last time it did so with hydrogen cyanide gas was Walter LaGrand in 1999, according to ADCRR. The Tucson Citizen published an eyewitness account of LaGrand’s execution in which he displayed “agonizing choking and gagging” and took 18 minutes to die.

The next step for the lawsuit is a hearing on March 7, where the defendants in the case, including the state of Arizona, ADCRR, Brnovich and others, must let the court know if there's any cause that exists why the courts shouldn't grant declaratory relief that the cyanide gas program is unconstitutional.

“What we're asking the court to do is essentially order the defendants to tell us and the court, whether there are any facts or if anything has changed since the protocol that’s been in place since the late 1990s,” said Keenen. “We just want to know if there's anything new that's changed that would allow the government to essentially argue that its current use of cyanide gas, or plans to use cyanide gas, doesn't violate the prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment.”

Tim Eckstein, chairman of the JCRC board, said Jewish teachings have long opposed cruel and painful punishments. “Thousands of years ago, Jews shunned mutilation, burning at the stake, and throwing the condemned into a funeral pyre – common practices in other cultures,” he said. “Today, those same moral and ethical values require us to take a stand against a practice that we know, from very recent history, is cruel, inhumane and will highly likely cause severe pain and suffering.” JN

Statement from Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker

The community now knows some of the terrible details of the death of this 6-year-old child. It takes our breath away. My office, as it always has, pledges to do everything in its power to bring justice in this young boy’s murder. We will not shrink from our responsibility.

It’s difficult to imagine the grief for this boy’s family. For the child’s classmates. His friends. Neighbors. The first responders who went to this crime scene.

I expect it leaves us not knowing what to do. We might look at our loved ones today and give some thanks to God or even say a prayer. Thank you, my child is safe today. But we want everyone’s children to be safe.

We’ve announced today that the child’s mother is charged with Murder in the First Degree of her 6-year-old son and Armed Criminal Action.* She is being held in the Jackson County Detention Center and her bond request was “no bond.”

It can’t stop there.

This child’s death is a call for something more. Our community must heed the call. Law enforcement, prosecutors, public health officials, social service providers, all of our many partners must work together to address the violence. Strong collaborations are needed to lean into this difficult challenge, and better protect our community’s most vulnerable population, our kids.

Regarding this case, we will review our systems and responses to examine more deeply if any opportunities for intervention were missed. But I should stress that we don’t know of any failed processes, and we acknowledge that one may not exist. This type of review, though, could produce a valuable lesson from this horrible event, something that might prevent future harm.

Let’s also focus, Kansas City, on the violence among us. It’s a challenge we can no longer ignore. We cannot become complacent with 180 or 170 or even 150 homicides per year and hundreds more shot but not killed. We’ve seen the horror that can occur when we don’t work together to help our community members avoid a future of violence.

Going forward let’s keep a clear goal: Reduce our community’s violence and alert mental health professionals whenever we are aware of someone in need of intervention.

https://women-gender-equality.canada.ca/en/gender-based-analysis-plus/what-gender-based-analysis-plus.html#about

GBA+ is an analytical process that provides a rigorous method for the assessment of systemic inequalities, as well as a means to assess how diverse groups of women, men, and gender diverse people may experience policies, programs and initiatives. The “plus” in GBA+ acknowledges that GBA+ is not just about differences between biological (sexes) and socio-cultural (genders). We all have multiple characteristics that intersect and contribute to who we are. GBA+ considers many other identity factors such as race, ethnicity, religion, age, and mental or physical disability, and how the interaction between these factors influences the way we might experience government policies and initiatives.

In 1995, the Government of Canada committed to using GBA+ to advance gender equality in Canada, as part of the ratification of the United Nations’ Beijing Platform for Action.

Secured Area Established

(Ottawa) – Under the Emergencies Act, the Unified Command in control of policing in Ottawa has established a Secured Area to ensure that individuals comply with the Emergency Measures Regulations and to ensure designated places (Parliament, Government buildings, critical infrastructure etc) are protected.

You cannot travel to or within an area where an assembly is taking place contrary to the Regulations.

At this time, the Secured Area is from Bronson Avenue to the Canal, the Queensway to Parliament Hill.

Anyone can enter the Secured Area if you fall under an exemption in the Regulations, meaning that you:

(a) reside, work or are moving through that area for reasons other than to participate in or facilitate the assembly;

(b) are acting with the permission of a peace officer or the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness;

(c) are a peace officer; or

(d) are an employee or agent of the government of Canada or a province who is acting in the execution of their duties.

You can expect to see police checkpoints where you will be asked your reason for travelling within the Secured Area.

You will be required to show proof of exemption for your travel to the Secured Area.

Expect traffic delays in and around the Secured Area. Please avoid the downtown core if you have no reason to be there.

“We do not take this decision lightly, we know this will impact the residents. Please bear with us while we work to return the city to a state of normalcy” stated Interim Chief Steve Bell. “We want to reassure everyone that if you live, work or have a reason to be in the area that your access will be minimally impacted.”

We want you to be aware that entering the Secured Area for the purpose of contravening the Emergencies Act, may result in you being arrested and/or charged.

The Secured Area will only be enforced as long as necessary.
