Alec Baldwin's Manslaughter Trial in 'Rust' Shooting to Proceed, Judge Rules

TL;DR Summary
A New Mexico judge has ruled that Alec Baldwin will stand trial for the fatal shooting of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, denying his motion to dismiss the indictment. The trial is set to begin on July 9 and could last about two weeks. Baldwin faces involuntary manslaughter charges and a potential 18-month prison sentence if convicted. The judge found no prosecutorial misconduct in the grand jury process, and Baldwin's legal team continues to contest the charges.
