Alec Baldwin Was Offered Lenient Plea Deal, Before Prosecutors Withdrew It
Alec Baldwin was offered a deal to plead to a misdemeanor, and potentially serve no jail time, in the 'Rust' shooting. But the offer was withdrawn.
Alec Baldwin was offered a deal last October to plead to a misdemeanor — and apparently serve no jail time — in the accidental shooting on the set of “ Rust,” according to a filing made public on Friday. Baldwin was indicted in January on a felony charge of involuntary manslaughter in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, and now faces up to 18 months in prison if convicted at trial in July. The latest revelation about the retracted plea offer was included among hundreds of pages of material made public Friday as part of Baldwin’s effort to throw out the case.
