Alec Baldwin charged with manslaughter over 'Rust' film death

CULTURE 19.01.2024

Alec Baldwin has been charged with manslaughter over the deadly shooting on the set of western film "Rust," according to a court document filed Friday.

Text size:

The charge comes more than two years after cinematographer Halyna Hutchins died during filming of the low-budget movie in New Mexico when she was shot by a gun Baldwin was holding during rehearsals for a scene.

The US actor was initially charged with manslaughter in January last year, but the charge was later dropped.

Baldwin reportedly faces up to 18 months in jail if convicted of the new charge.

"We look forward to our day in court," attorneys Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro said in a statement carried by trade title Variety.
