Alec Baldwin is facing involuntary manslaughter charges again, after a grand jury in New Mexico indicted the 30 Rock actor on Friday (January 19th). Baldwin was previously charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter for the fatal shooting of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, but prosecutors dropped their case in April of 2023.
Gloria Allred, an attorney who represents Hutchins’ family, responded to the decision in a statement released on Friday (January 19th). “Our clients have always sought the truth about what happened on the day that Halyna Hutchins was tragically shot and killed on October 21, 2021,” she said. “They continue to seek the truth in our civil lawsuit for them and they also would like there to be accountability in the criminal justice system.”
Baldwin now faces up to 18 months in prison. A source told People that he and his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, find the charges to be “very stressful.”
