A judge in New Mexico has denied Alec Baldwin’s motion to dismiss the involuntary manslaughter indictment against him in the “Rust” fatal shooting case, related to the tragic death of the film’s cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins in 2021.
Baldwin’s attorneys had alleged misconduct by prosecutors during the grand jury process and had sought to have the case dismissed. In January, Baldwin pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the shooting incident where Hutchins lost her life and director Joel Souza was injured after a gun Baldwin was holding discharged a live round during a scene rehearsal on the New Mexico set of the western movie.
