image for Alec Baldwin to be recharged with involuntary manslaughter in Rust shooting

New Mexico prosecutors intend to recharge actor Alec Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the fatal 2021 Rust shooting, NBC News reported on Tuesday, citing two sources familiar with the matter.

Baldwin’s case will be brought before a grand jury in mid-November, the report added.

Kari Morrissey, a special prosecutor on the case, and a lawyer representing Baldwin both did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Reuters.

Baldwin was originally charged with involuntary manslaughter for the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in October 2021.

She died when a revolver Baldwin was rehearsing with fired a live round that passed through her and injured director Joel Souza.

Baldwin has said he is not responsible for Hutchins’ death and he did not pull the trigger.

Morrissey said at the time that if new testing of the gun showed it was working they would recharge Baldwin. »
