Alec Baldwin has pleaded not guilty in response to charges for involuntary manslaughter following the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie Rust.
The 64-year-old actor waived his right to appear in court on Friday, February 24 for a hearing that was previously scheduled. The hearing has now been canceled.
Alec faces 18 months in prison if he’s found guilty. The charge was initially accompanied by a “firearm enhancement” carrying an additional five years in prison. Earlier this week, the enhancement was dropped.
Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed is also facing charges for the death of Hutchins, which occurred on October 21, 2021 at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in New Mexico.
Deadline reports that the judge said today that Alec is “not to hold a gun, drink or speak with potential or probable witnesses in the criminal case unless it is in ‘connection with completing the Rust movie and other related and unrelated business matters.’”

Alec Baldwin was dealt a major victory in the upcoming legal battle over the tragic death of Halyna Hutchins on the set of his movie Rust.
The 64-year-old star was charged with involuntary manslaughter in late January. If convicted, he could face 18 months in prison on that alone.
However, the charge was accompanied by a “firearm enhancement” carrying an additional five years in prison. Alec formally requested that the enhancement, which was not legally enacted until after the accidental shooting, be dropped from his charges.
On Monday (February 20), the enhancement was dropped.

Alec Baldwin‘s legal team is taking steps to get an enhanced charge dropped that stems from the Rust shooting.
Earlier this week it was revealed that the actor’s charge of involuntary manslaughter was accompanied by a “firearm enhancement” that was not in place at the time of the accidental shooting that resulted in the death of Halyna Hutchins.
While the maximum prison sentence for involuntary manslaughter is only 18 months, the enhancement carries a max of five years.
In formal court documents, his representation called the addition of the enhancement a “basic legal error,” according to Variety.
“The prosecutors committed a basic legal error by charging Mr. Baldwin under a version of the firearm-enhancement statute that did not exist on the date of the accident,” they wrote. “That version of the statute could not apply to conduct that occurred before it was enacted.”
Additionally, Alec‘s team pointed out that the enhancement can only be applied to cases where the assailant uses a firearm with “intent to intimidate or injure a person.”
Alec is at the center of another lawsuit stemming from the tragedy.
