Legal experts are weighing in on actor Alec Baldwin’s potential defense strategies after charges of involuntary manslaughter were refiled against the 65-year-old actor by a New Mexico grand jury in connection to the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during a scene rehearsal on the set of Rust three years ago.
The charges against Baldwin, the lead actor and a co-producer of the ill-fated western, were dropped last April after “new facts” surfaced requiring further forensic analysis of the Italian-made “facsimile” of a Colt 1873 single-action revolver used in the shooting.
