Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer A judge has rejected Alec Baldwin‘s argument that his case should be thrown out because the FBI destroyed his Colt .45 revolver during testing.

Baldwin is accused of negligently pointing the revolver at Hutchins while working to set up a shot.

Alec Baldwin will still face a New Mexico jury next month for his involuntary manslaughter trial in the 2021 death of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer Alec Baldwin‘s lawyers argued on Monday that his manslaughter case should be thrown out because investigators destroyed the key piece of evidence: his Colt .45 revolver. Baldwin is due to face a trial in two weeks in Santa Fe, N.M., on the charge that he negligently shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in October 2021. Baldwin has denied pulling the trigger, and the defense has suggested the gun had been modified so it could go off more easily.

Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief “Inside Out 2” enjoyed a stellar second weekend at the South Korean box office, comfortably beating local thriller “Hijack 1971.” The Pixar animation recorded a week-on-week drop of only 15% to score $10.3 million between Friday and Sunday, according to data from Kobis the box office tracking service operated by the Korean Film Council (Kofic). Its market share through the weekend was a powerful 70%. Those performances give the film a $28 million cumulative after 12 days in Korean cinemas.

Alec Baldwin’s involuntary manslaughter trial next month for the fatal 2021 shooting of Rust  cinematographer Halyna Hutchins is still on, a New Mexico judge ruled today. Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer also decided that the indie Western’s convicted armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed does not have to testify at the actor/producer’s trial.

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer Alec Baldwin‘s lawyers have filed a fourth motion to throw out his manslaughter indictment, alleging that the prosecutor withheld exculpatory evidence showing that his Colt .45 revolver was damaged at the time of a fatal accident. Baldwin’s defense accuses prosecutor Kari Morrissey of improperly withholding an expert’s report showing “unexplained toolmarks” on the gun’s sear — the portion of the trigger that holds the hammer in place. Baldwin is accused of pointing the gun at cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and firing while setting up for a scene in October 2021.

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer Prosecutors in the Alec Baldwin trial intend to argue that the actor displayed a pattern of recklessness with firearms on the set of “Rust” before the fatal shooting of the film’s cinematographer. In a filing on Monday, prosecutors Kari Morrissey and Erlinda Johnson alleged that Baldwin fired a blank round at a crew member while using the crew member to establish a line of sight. The prosecutors also accuse Baldwin of engaging in “horseplay” with a revolver during training, and allege that he was “erratic and aggressive” during filming, which raised safety concerns.

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer “Rust” armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed has claimed that the judge in her involuntary manslaughter trial made six errors, warranting reversal of her conviction in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Gutierrez Reed, 27, is serving an 18-month sentence at the Western New Mexico Correctional Facility in Grants, N.M. In a filing to the state’s Court of Appeals on Wednesday, defense attorney Jason Bowles cited issues with the jury instructions and the judge’s decision to allow “lay opinions” on Gutierrez Reed’s conduct as an armorer.
