New Mexico prosecutors intend to recharge actor Alec Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the fatal 2021 “Rust” shooting, two sources familiar with the matter tells NBC News.
The source adds that Baldwin’s case will be brought before a grand jury in mid-November. There had been recent discussions of a plea deal, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
[Interesting. Those charges carry a potential 18-month prison sentence. The change may have come from repeated analyses of the weapon, which showed that it couldn’t have fired without a trigger pull. Baldwin insisted he didn’t pull the trigger and the weapon fired on its own. — Ed]
