TL;DR Summary

Actor Alec Baldwin has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during a rehearsal on the set of the movie "Rust" in New Mexico. Baldwin waived an arraignment and faces up to 18 months in prison if convicted. The grand jury indictment provides special prosecutors with two alternative standards for pursuing the felony charge against Baldwin, based on the negligent use of a firearm and causing death without due caution. The case involves analysis of the gun and testimony from witnesses, including Rust crew members and the movie's weapons supervisor, who also faces charges.
