Prosecutors in New Mexico are intensifying their case against actor Alec Baldwin, who faces involuntary manslaughter charges for the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film 'Rust'. New evidence presented by the prosecution alleges that Baldwin, 66, exhibited a pattern of reckless behavior with firearms, including firing a blank at a crew member and engaging in 'horseplay' during firearm training. Additionally, prosecutors are seeking to compel a convicted armorer to testify in the trial. Baldwin has accused the prosecutors of withholding evidence and has requested the dismissal of the charges. The incident occurred in 2021, and the trial is set for July.
