Expert Report Raises Doubts on Alec Baldwin's Trigger Claim in 'Rust' Shooting

A new forensic report commissioned by special prosecutors in the Rust shooting case casts doubt on Alec Baldwin's claim that he did not pull the trigger. The report suggests that for the gun to fire, the trigger would have had to be pulled or depressed sufficiently to release the fully cocked or retracted hammer. The report contradicts Baldwin's previous statements and aligns with the findings of an FBI investigation, which also concluded that the trigger had to be pulled. It remains uncertain if prosecutors will re-file charges against Baldwin based on the new report.
