"New Forensic Analysis Raises Possibility of Refiling Charges Against Alec Baldwin in 'Rust' Shooting"
Prosecutors have received a new analysis of the gun used in the fatal shooting on the set of the film "Rust" by Alec Baldwin, leading them to consider refiling charges against the actor. The analysis concludes that the trigger had to have been pulled or depressed based on the gun's examination and markings on a spent cartridge. Baldwin has maintained that the gun fired accidentally. The gun analysis report was disclosed by the attorney for Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the weapons supervisor on the set, who is also facing charges. Prosecutors have given themselves 60 days to determine whether to renew the case against Baldwin. The investigation into the shooting revealed safety failures and violations of industry protocols on the set.
