Judge Denies Alec Baldwin's Request to Dismiss Manslaughter Charge for Third Time, July Trial to Proceed
Jun 28, 2024, 10:27 PM
A New Mexico judge has denied Alec Baldwin's request to dismiss the involuntary manslaughter charge against him related to the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the Western film 'Rust' in 2021. Baldwin's defense argued that the firearm, a Colt .45 revolver, was heavily damaged during FBI forensic testing, which they claimed destroyed potentially exculpatory evidence. Despite these claims, the judge ruled that the trial will proceed as scheduled, with jury selection beginning on July 9. Baldwin's attorneys, led by John Bash, have made multiple attempts to have the charges dismissed, but this latest effort, the third time, was also unsuccessful.
