TL;DR Summary

Alec Baldwin seeks to have the involuntary manslaughter charges against him dismissed, claiming that prosecutors have engaged in misconduct and stacked the deck against him. His trial is set to begin in July, and he faces up to 18 months in prison if found guilty. Baldwin's defense alleges that the state concealed exculpatory evidence from the grand jury and questions the evidence regarding the gun firing without a trigger pull. The armorer of "Rust," Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was recently found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, and the film has been completed and is seeking a buyer amidst ongoing legal battles.
