A New Mexico prosecutor on Wednesday said Alec Baldwin broke "cardinal rules" for handling guns in the 2021 killing of "Rust" cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, while his lawyer said he was failed by the movie's set safety experts who already have been convicted in the case.

In a recent development, actor and producer Alec Baldwin pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to involuntary manslaughter charges related to the tragic shooting incident on the set of the low-budget western film "Rust" in New Mexico. Prosecutors in the state, who initially dropped charges, revived the case, leading to Baldwin's indictment for the second time.

Alec Baldwin on Friday was charged again with involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film "Rust," reinstating a criminal case against the actor months after previous charges were dropped.

Actor Alec Baldwin and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed will be charged on Tuesday with involuntary manslaughter for the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Western "Rust" in 2021, according to New Mexico prosecutor.
