Judge Rules Alec Baldwin's 'Rust' Manslaughter Case Will Proceed

A US judge has denied Alec Baldwin's request to dismiss an involuntary manslaughter charge related to the 2021 shooting of Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film "Rust." Baldwin, who claims he did not pull the trigger and was unaware the gun contained live rounds, is set to stand trial in July. The weapons handler, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was sentenced to 18 months in prison and has appealed her conviction. Baldwin's lawyers argue the grand jury process was biased, but the judge rejected this claim.
