Alec Baldwin pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter following the fatal accident that occurred during the shooting of the movie Rust in 2021.
A court document filed on Wednesday (January 31) showed that the 65-year-old was scheduled to appear remotely in a New Mexico, US court on Thursday (February 1) but had waived his right to an arraignment (a formal reading of a criminal charging document in the presence of the defendant to inform them of the charges against them).
A court spokesperson told CNN that the originally scheduled hearing was vacated after the judge in the case accepted Baldwin’s waiver.
