If Alec Baldwin is charged again with involuntary manslaughter in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, he could once again face prison time.
Hutchins died Oct. 21, 2021, after a gun the actor was holding fired on the set of "Rust." Special prosecutor Kari Morrissey told Fox News Digital Wednesday new charges against Baldwin are being "considered," but a "final decision" has yet to be made after new evidence surfaced in the case.
However, legal experts believe the move is unlikely. "You can't bring charges again unless you know that you're going to win," former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani told Fox News Digital.
New charges against Baldwin are being considered after experts, commissioned by the special prosecution, concluded Baldwin had to have pulled the trigger for the gun to fire. "Although Alec Baldwin repeatedly denies pulling the trigger, given the tests, findings and observations reported here, the trigger had to be pulled or depressed sufficiently to release the fully cocked or retracted hammer of the evidence revolver," the report, obtained by Fox News Digital, states. "This fatal incident was the consequence of the hammer being manually retracted to its fully rearward and cocked position followed, at some point, by the pull or rearward depression of the trigger." Rahmani pointed out that the new report doesn't necessarily contain new information.The district attorney's office has always said Baldwin had to have pulled the trigger, confirmed by an FBI ballistics report released in August 2022.
