Alec Baldwin is about to be completely off the hook for the Rust tragedy. According to Deadline on Thursday, newly-appointed special prosecutors Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis are expected to file paperwork very soon (maybe even later today) to dismiss the involuntary manslaughter claims against the actor without prejudice.
This means someone could try to charge him again after further investigation. But either way, it’s a huge win! As of now, the film’s armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed is still facing her charges, which means the probe is still open and prosecutors still have subpoena power going forward.
This update comes more than a year after Halyna Hutchins died on the set of the western film, Rust, when Alec’s gun fired a live bullet.
In late January, Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed were charged with two counts each of involuntary manslaughter, including a five-year mandatory firearm enhancement that was later dropped due to being “unconstitutional.” They both pleaded not guilty.
