Prosecutors Push for New Charges Against Alec Baldwin in "Rust" Movie Shooting

Special prosecutors plan to present a criminal case against Alec Baldwin to the New Mexico Grand Jury in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie Rust. Baldwin, who was one of the producers, was holding a Colt .45 gun during a rehearsal when it went off, killing Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza. Prosecutors dropped involuntary manslaughter charges against Baldwin earlier but now believe there is new evidence showing his criminal culpability. The film's armorer is set to go on trial in February, while the legal saga surrounding the case continues.

Legal Battle Erupts Over Dismissal of Charges in Fatal Shooting on Alec Baldwin Movie Set

Prosecutors are urging a judge not to dismiss charges of involuntary manslaughter against movie weapons supervisor Hannah Gutierrez-Reed in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of Alec Baldwin's film "Rust." Defense attorneys argue that the charges should be dropped, accusing the prosecution of sloppy work and violating their client's due process rights. The hearing will also address objections to an evidence tampering charge against Gutierrez-Reed and whether a witness's name can be shielded from public disclosure. Prosecutors dropped the involuntary manslaughter charge against Baldwin in April.
