Alec Baldwin's 'Rust' Trial Delayed to 2024 as Armorer's Trial Date Pushed Back

Alec Baldwin is attempting to prevent crew members from the film "Rust" from taking him to court in a civil case, while the criminal trial for armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed has been postponed until next year. Baldwin and the production company have filed a motion to dismiss the civil case, with a pending motion to stay the proceedings until the criminal trial is concluded. The outcome of these motions could have implications for other ongoing civil cases against Baldwin. Special prosecutors have not yet decided whether to refile criminal charges against Baldwin in the shooting incident, but a recent forensics report suggests that the trigger of the prop gun had to be pulled for it to discharge. The criminal trial has been rescheduled for February 2024.
