TL;DR Summary

Attorney Erlinda Johnson has been added to the prosecution team pursuing an involuntary manslaughter charge against Alec Baldwin in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of "Rust." Baldwin has pleaded not guilty, and the trial is scheduled for July. The new special prosecutor's experience includes criminal defense and representing former New Mexico Secretary of State Dianna Duran. Meanwhile, the movie's weapons supervisor, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for involuntary manslaughter in Hutchins's death. Baldwin's defense is seeking to dismiss the indictment, alleging unfair grand jury proceedings, while special prosecutors accuse Baldwin of attempting to evade responsibility.
