TL;DR Summary

Alec Baldwin has been indicted by a grand jury for felony involuntary manslaughter in connection with the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie "Rust." The indictment provides prosecutors with two alternative standards for the charge, based on the negligent use of a firearm or causing death without due caution. Baldwin's defense attorneys plan to fight the charge, and the case is set for trial. Additionally, the armorer of "Rust," Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, is facing separate trials for involuntary manslaughter and evidence tampering, which could provide insights into the prosecution's approach and potential witness testimony for Baldwin's case.
