A judge on Friday denied another request from Alec Baldwin to dismiss the charge against him in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was fatally shot on the set of Rust in 2021.
Baldwin, a lead actor and co-producer on the western, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in the shooting and is set to face trial early next month. His attorneys had argued that the state knowingly failed to preserve crucial evidence in the case that might have exonerated Baldwin and asked that the charges be dismissed.
