Alec Baldwin pleads not guilty to new charge in fatal shooting on Rust film set

Actor was indicted in shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins nearly a year after similar charges were dropped

Actor Alec Baldwin entered a not guilty plea on Wednesday on a new involuntary manslaughter charge in the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on a New Mexico movie set in October 2021.

The actor was indicted earlier this month in the shooting, nearly a year after prosecutors dropped similar charges against him. At the time, the prosecutor’s office said that it would continue investigating the matter and that it could refile charges.
