TL;DR Summary

Prosecutors allege that the weapons supervisor on the film set where Alec Baldwin shot and killed a cinematographer was drinking and smoking marijuana in the evenings during the filming of “Rust,” and was likely hungover when she loaded a live bullet into the revolver that the actor used. They responded to a motion filed by Hannah Gutierrez-Reed’s attorneys seeking to dismiss her involuntary manslaughter charge, accusing her of having a history of reckless conduct. The prosecutors also noted that they expected to decide within the next 60 days whether to recharge Baldwin, depending on the results of an analysis of the gun and its broken sear.
