LOS ANGELES, (Reuters) – Halyna Hutchins’ attorney claimed authorities caused “irreparable harm” by releasing footage of Halyna receiving treatment following her shooting on “Rust,” Alec Baldwin film.

Brian Panish, a lawyer, wrote Wednesday to Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Medoza that Matthew Hutchins first saw the disturbing and distressing video of Hutchins dying on RadarOnline.

He stated that “the damage your office caused is irreparable,” in the letter which was received by Reuters.

Hutchins, who was injured on October 31st while shooting on set of “Rust,” was shown on video by the sheriff’s Office. The hospital declared her dead the next day.

Hutchins was 42 years old and was struck in the chest with a revolver that Baldwin had. Joel Souza was also struck by the bullet but survived.

The sheriff’s department spokesperson did not immediately reply to inquiries for comment Thursday. Mendoza stated Tuesday on ABC’s Good Morning America that the department had to provide the information to comply with a public records request.

Reuters was one of several media outlets to publish some footage. It also featured Baldwin practicing with an Old West style revolver.

Panish stated that Matthew Hutchins had been given the opportunity by the sheriff’s department to examine the materials Monday morning before they were released on Monday afternoon. He stated that it was “a totally inadequate amount time for the sheer volume and complexity of the material.”

Panish also demanded that the office remove the clip of Halyna dying on the church’s floor. Your office will not be complicit in the further damage that was caused by publishing that video, even though it is irreparable.

Materials were made available via Dropbox link (NASDAQ:). They also contained crime scene photos as well as videotaped interviews of cast members from “Rust,” which included Baldwin.

Rust movie productions, New Mexico, was penalized $137,000 for its “willful” safety breaches that resulted in Hutchins’s death. The company stated that it was not satisfied with the results and would appeal.

Sheriff’s Department has stated that it will continue its investigation into the shooting, but has not dismissed criminal charges.

Baldwin is a producer for the film and was named in multiple lawsuits, one of which was filed by her husband, in connection to Hutchins’s death.

Baldwin denies responsibility for Hutchins’ death, and says live rounds should not have been allowed on the Bonanza Creek Ranch set of Western movie Bonanza Creek Ranch.

In court papers, the actor of 64 years argued that an indemnification clause in his agreement protects him against personal liability.
