TL;DR Summary

Alec Baldwin could potentially face manslaughter charges again in the case of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins' death on the set of the film "Rust." A forensic report revealed that Baldwin's Colt .45 revolver would only fire if the trigger was pulled, contradicting his claim that he did not pull the trigger. The report also found that the gun had been modified, raising doubts about its functionality. The special prosecutors are now considering whether to refile the charges against Baldwin. Meanwhile, the film's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, is facing trial in December, and the source of the live rounds found on set remains unknown.
