Dyer stated to Deadline that Alec had voluntarily given his cell phone to authorities in order for them finish their investigation.
‘But this matter isn’t about his phone, and there are no answers on his phone. Alec was innocent of any wrongdoing.
“It was clear that it was a Cold Gun, and he was following the instructions when this terrible accident took place,” he continued.
“The main question to answer is: How did the live rounds end up on the set?

Baldwin was not charged with any criminal offense and has denied wrongdoing. The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Department issued the first warrant for Baldwin’s phone in December 16.
Mary Carmack Altwies, District Attorney of Virginia, stated that investigators investigating the tragedy sought to “obtain all materials” from Baldwin’s cell phone in order to uncover the circumstances leading to the shooting.
Hutchins had been a mother of one and was a widow. Joel Souza (48), was also injured in the accident but has since recovered.
Baldwin stated that the shooting occurred while he was helping Hutchins position a gun in preparation for an upcoming scene.
According to him, he took the hammer off and let it go. The gun fired. After the shooting of the western, production was stopped. Crew members were accused of poor safety and cost cutting.
Baldwin spoke on ABC News and stated that the best, most effective way to honor Halyna’s death is to discover the truth.
‘That’s what I’m working toward, insisting on, demanding that the organizations involved in this investigation do everything in their power, everything in their power, to find out what really happened. That’s all that matters.’
Tragic: Rust cinematographer Halyna was shot accidentally and then killed on set by Baldwin. Joel Souza, the director of Rust Cinematography was also hit but survived.
