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.’”
Did you see the message that Alec‘s wife sent out this week?
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.
Alec Baldwin is facing another lawsuit in connection to the death of Halyna Hutchins.
The 64-year-old actor was recently charged with involuntary manslaughter for Halyna‘s death after she was accidentally shot dead on the set of the movie Rust.
The actor was holding the gun which discharged and killed Halyna, though he has claimed he did not pull the trigger. Prosecutors say that Alec shouldn’t have pointed the gun as “the first rule of gun safety is never to point a gun at someone you don’t intend on shooting.”
Now, Halyna‘s family is suing Alec and the producers of Rust.
