Alec Baldwin Could Be Charged Again in ‘Rust’ Case as Report Finds Trigger Was Pulled
Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer Alec Baldwin could once again face manslaughter charges, after a forensic report released Tuesday found that his Colt .45 revolver would only fire if the trigger was pulled. Baldwin was initially charged with involuntary manslaughter in the October 2021 death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. But the charge was dropped after the defense noted that the gun had been modified, which raised doubts about whether it was working properly at the time of the shooting.
