The actor-producer’s attorneys had earlier objected to the enhancement they said was unconstitutional because it was added after the October 2021 shooting.
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 statue that did not exist on the date of the accident,” Baldwin’s attorneys said in an earlier court filing.
Hutchins’ parents and sister have filed a lawsuit over the shooting after a similar suit filed by her husband and son was settled. Rust Movie Productions said last week a related documentary will detail the completion of the film and the life of Halyna Hutchins.
