"Alec Baldwin Seeks Dismissal of Involuntary Manslaughter Charge in 'Rust' Shooting Case"

Alec Baldwin's defense attorneys have requested a New Mexico judge to dismiss the involuntary manslaughter charge against the actor in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of "Rust." They accused prosecutors of unfairly influencing the grand jury proceedings and diverting attention from exculpatory evidence and witnesses, preventing the jury from hearing testimony from key individuals. The defense also claimed that the grand jury received inaccurate and one-sided testimony about the revolver involved in the shooting. Meanwhile, "Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was convicted in the shooting, and Baldwin is scheduled for trial in July.
