Alec Baldwin's Involuntary Manslaughter Charges Dropped in 'Rust' Fatal Shooting Case Following New Evidence About Faulty Prop Gun
- Prosecutors dismissed the charges against Alec Baldwin after his attorneys presented evidence showing the prop gun had been improperly modified, undermining the case against him.
- The investigation remains ongoing, and charges could potentially be refiled, though experts say this is unlikely given the issues with the evidence.
- The film's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, still faces two counts of involuntary manslaughter over the cinematographer's death.
- Filming has resumed on "Rust" with new safety measures and no firearms.
- Baldwin continues to face civil lawsuits from the victim's family and former crew members who seek damages over the fatal shooting.
