Alec Baldwin Seeks Dismissal of Charges in 'Rust' Shooting After Armorer's Guilty Verdict
TL;DR
Alec Baldwin's lawyers have filed a motion to dismiss manslaughter charges against him for the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during the filming of "Rust," citing prosecutorial misconduct and claiming that his rights have been trampled. The armorer, Hannah Gutierrez, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in a separate trial. Baldwin's lawyers argue that prosecutors withheld substantial evidence from the grand jury and have publicly dragged Baldwin through improprieties. The trial is set for July 10 in New Mexico, and Gutierrez faces up to 18 months in state prison.
