Halyna Hutchins' family have vowed to continue to "pursue justice" after Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter case was dismissed.
The 66-year-old actor was stunned on Friday July 12 when judge Mary Marlowe Sommer threw out the case after his legal team argued prosecutors had hidden evidence relating to the death of the cinematographer, who was fatally shot on the set of 'Rust' in 2021.
Now Gloria Allred - a lawyer representing Olga Solovey, Anatolii Androsovych, and Svetlana Zemko in a civil case - has admitted she "respectfully disagrees" with the ruling.
According to CBS News, Gloria said: "The dismissal only strengthens our resolve to pursue justice in the civil case that we have filed against him in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
"The news was devastating to the family in Ukraine who mourn Halyna's loss every day", said Allred.
She added the family plan to "fight to the end" and she is "dedicated" to holding the former '30 Rock' star and the "entire Rust production accountable" in the civil lawsuit, which she noted was "not affected by the decision of the court yesterday in the criminal case."
She also added: "Our case is important, because we believe that everyone — yes, even celebrities like Alec Baldwin and producers — should follow accepted safety protocols so that all crew members have a safe workplace."
The dismissal last week means Alec can no longer face involuntary manslaughter charges over Halyna's death, but he will still face the civil suit.
However, the 'Boss Baby' star had previously requested the "especially misguided" suit be dismissed as he argued the plaintiffs, the cinematographer's parents and sister, had been "distanced from Halyna physically, financially and emotionally for years before her death" and had "no viable cause of action against Defendants."
The civil lawsuit doesn't include Halyna's widower, Matthew Hutchins, who previously settled a wrongful death lawsuit and insisted he felt his wife's passing was due to a "terrible accident".
He added that he had "no interest in engaging in recriminations or attribution of blame“ to the producers or Mr. Baldwin.
