Alec Baldwin's Legal Troubles: Latest Updates and Future Implications
Criminal charges against Alec Baldwin have been dropped in the Rust case, but the civil lawsuit against him will proceed. Baldwin returned to the set of the Western film almost two years after a gun he was practicing with went off and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Baldwin's attorneys praised the decision to drop charges against him and called for a proper investigation into the tragic accident. The film's weapons handler, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, is still charged, but her attorneys believe she will be exonerated. Baldwin's legal team filed a motion to have special prosecutor Andrea Reeb dismissed, claiming her status as a Republican lawmaker in the New Mexico House of Representatives was unconstitutional.
