Alec Baldwin Calls for Dismissal of Involuntary Manslaughter Case in ‘Rust’ Shooting: New York Post

Actor Alec Baldwin is once again making headlines as he urges a judge to stand by the dismissal of the involuntary manslaughter case against him in the tragic “Rust” shooting incident.

Baldwin, who was holding a prop gun when it discharged and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film in October 2021, has maintained his innocence in the matter. The actor’s legal team successfully argued that he should not be held criminally responsible for the accident.

In a recent court filing obtained by the New York Post, Baldwin’s lawyer argued that the decision to dismiss the involuntary manslaughter case was the correct one, citing the lack of evidence to prove that Baldwin acted recklessly or with criminal intent.

The actor, known for his roles in movies such as “The Departed” and “30 Rock,” has been vocal about the emotional toll the incident has taken on him, expressing deep remorse for the loss of Hutchins and the impact it has had on her family.

With the dismissal of the involuntary manslaughter case hanging in the balance, Baldwin is hopeful that the judge will uphold the decision and allow him to move forward from this tragic chapter in his life.

As the legal battle continues to unfold, all eyes are on the courtroom as Baldwin fights to clear his name and seek closure in the aftermath of the “Rust” shooting. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
