New court filings show prosecutors have dropped the possibility of a sentence enhancement against the actor in a fatal film-set shooting
Prosecutors have dropped the possibility of a sentence enhancement that could have carried a mandatory five-year sentence against actor Alec Baldwin in a fatal film-set shooting, according to new court filings made public Monday.SANTA FE, N.M. — Prosecutors have dropped the possibility of a sentence enhancement that could have carried a mandatory five-year sentence against Alec Baldwin in a fatal film-set shooting, according to new court filings made public Monday.
“The prosecutors committed a basic legal error by charging Mr. Baldwin under a version of the firearm-enhancement statute that did not exist on the date of the accident,” Baldwin’s attorneys said in an earlier court filing.
Rust Movie Productions said last week a related documentary will detail the film’s completion and Halyna Hutchins’s life.
