Alec Baldwin's Legal Woes From Rust Shooting Just Got Even More Real

As anticipated, Variety writes that actor Alec Baldwin is facing a formal charge of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Halyna Hutcins, which is a criminal charge against the New York native. Also facing the same charge is the armorer for “Rust,” Hannah Gutierrez-Reed. According to the outlet, each individual faces up to 18 months in prison if convicted, and that sentence could carry an additional five years because a firearm was used during the incident. In accordance with United States law, it should be noted that both individuals are presumed to be innocent until proven guilty.

At the time of publication, Baldwin has not yet addressed the criminal charge that has been filed against him. However, Baldwin’s attorney in the case, Luke Nikas, was earlier quoted as saying, “This decision distorts Halyna Hutchins’ tragic death and represents a terrible miscarriage of justice. We will fight these charges and we will win,”(via Variety).
