CONTEXT:
Alec Baldwin was charged with involuntary manslaughter. The indictment is for the October 21, 2021 death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, after a revolver Baldwin was holding on set to prepare for a scene went off, ending Hutchins' life and injuring director Joel Souza. Charges were previously filed against Baldwin, and later dropped before being brought again. Also, in February 2024, Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was put on trial for involuntary manslaughter for failing to maintain safety of the firearm that killed Hutchins. She was convicted on March 7, 2024 and ultimately sentenced to the maximum penalty of 18 months in prison.
