Alec Baldwin charged with manslaughter AGAIN

Whether Alec Baldwin brings you joy or frustration you have to find this constant back and forth over the ‘Rust’ shooting madenning.

For the second time in as many years Alec Baldwin is being charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was killed in 2021 after the actor’s prop gun fired a live round of ammunition on the “Rust” film set.

The decision to indict Baldwin was announced Friday after a New Mexico grand jury heard evidence presented by special prosecutors Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis. He was charged with one count of involuntary manslaughter.

“We look forward to our day in court,” said Baldwin’s attorneys, Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro, of Quinn Emanuel.

If convicted, Baldwin could face up to 18 months in prison. A trial date has not been set.
