The outlet also revealed the details of the charges, sharing that the “first charge is a fourth-degree felony with sentencing of up to 18 months in jail and a $5,000 fine.”

Meanwhile, “the second charge, which is formally an involuntary manslaughter in the commission of a lawful act charge, is also a fourth-degree felony punishable by up to 18 months in jail and up to a $5000 fine.”

The second charge previously mentioned also carries what is called a “firearm enhancement”. This means that the offense automatically gets a mandatory five years in state prison, if found guilty.

“After a thorough review of the evidence and the laws of the state of New Mexico, I have determined that there is sufficient evidence to file criminal charges against Alec Baldwin and other members of the ‘Rust’ film crew,” Santa Fe County DA, Mary Carmack-Altwies shared said in a statement earlier this month. “On my watch, no one is above the law, and everyone deserves justice.”

Meanwhile, if you didn’t see, production on Rust will still go on.
