New Mexico prosecutors have filed a motion to compel Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, convicted in the 2021 'Rust' movie set shooting, to testify against Alec Baldwin. If approved, Gutierrez-Reed would testify that Baldwin was inattentive during firearms training and had the freedom to act as he wished. Baldwin faces charges of involuntary manslaughter, the same charge Gutierrez-Reed was convicted of, with his trial set to begin on July 9.
New Mexico prosecutors plan to recharge actor Alec Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter for the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie Rust in October 2021. The prosecutors stated that "additional facts" have emerged, and they intend to present the case to a grand jury within the next two months. Baldwin, who maintains the shooting was an accident for which he bears no responsibility, could face up to 18 months in prison if convicted. The film's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, has also been charged with involuntary manslaughter, while the trial date for her case is set for February 2024.
