New Mexico prosecutors downgrade charges against Alec Baldwin in the 'Rust' shooting

During rehearsals on the set of Rust in October 2021, actor Alec Baldwin, here pictured in 2015, fired a gun with a live round, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. He now faces involuntary manslaughter charges.

The actor's lawyers argued that he had been charged under a previous version of a New Mexico firearm law. The change would reduce his prison time if convicted in the shooting death of Halyna Hutchins.
