"Alec Baldwin Pleads Not Guilty in 'Rust' Film Set Shooting Case"

Alec Baldwin pleads not guilty and files a waiver of arraignment in the "Rust" case, where he faces involuntary manslaughter charges in connection to the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Baldwin's legal team has demanded a speedy trial, but experts have differing opinions on whether this is in his best interest. Baldwin maintains he did not pull the trigger, but the FBI's accidental-discharge test concluded that the gun used in the shooting "could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger." The "Rust" armorer's trial is scheduled to begin in February, and Baldwin has not been included on any witness list submitted by the prosecution at this point.
