Actor Alec Baldwin has been charged with involuntary manslaughter, alongside the armorer of the western “Rust,” in which he accidentally shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Baldwin and Hannah Gutierrez Reed were each charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the Oct. 21, 2021, shooting. If convinced of the most serious charge, they could each face a mandatory five-year prison sentence.
New Mexico’s 1st Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies and special prosecutor Andrea Reeb also released the details of the plea deal struck with first assistant director David Halls. He pleaded no contest to negligent use of a deadly weapon in exchange for a suspended sentence of six months of unsupervised probation. The filings were announced earlier this month by New Mexico prosecutors.
