Alec Baldwin's Motion to Dismiss 'Rust' Shooting Charge Denied

Alec Baldwin will stand trial for involuntary manslaughter in the 2021 death of "Rust" cinematographer Halyna Hutchins after a New Mexico judge denied his motion to dismiss the case. Baldwin, who has pleaded not guilty, is set for trial in July. The incident occurred during a rehearsal when a gun Baldwin was handling discharged, killing Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza. Baldwin maintains he did not pull the trigger and that the gun malfunctioned.
