A New Mexico grand jury has charged an actor with two counts of involuntary manslaughter in relation to the tragic death of cinematographer Helena Hutchins. The actor in question, who had previously been charged and cleared, now faces the possibility of up to 18 months in prison and a $5,000 fine if convicted.
The charges stem from an incident that occurred during a rehearsal for a scene, during which the actor was holding a gun that unexpectedly fired live ammunition. The previous case fell apart due to timing issues and new evidence involving the gun.
