Alec Baldwin Will Still Stand Trial For Fatal 2021 ‘Rust’ Shooting, New Mexico Judge Rules

The Rust star/producer's latest effort to get out of a trial has come up short, but he's got more attempts still

The move to confirm that the Rust star and producer will face involuntary manslaughter charges, and a possible 18 months behind bars if found guilty, comes a week after a contentious virtual hearing on the defense motion to toss the case out. Hutchins was killed and Rust director Joel Souza was injured on October 21, 2021 after the Colt .45 Baldwin was pointing at the cinematographer fired off a live round during a rehearsal at the Bonanza Creek Ranch near Sante Fe. On April 15, Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was sentenced to 18 months in a Land of Enchantment state prison after being found guilty of involuntary manslaughter on March 6.
