actor Alec Baldwin charged with manslaughter

Alec Baldwin was again charged with manslaughter on Saturday January 20. The charges were dropped in April after special prosecutors dismissed the homicide charge, saying the weapon may have been modified before the fatal incident. They reversed their decision on Friday, after receiving a new analysis from the army used. The report analyzed the weapon and the marks it left on a spent cartridge.

Actor denies pulling the trigger

The trigger had to be pressed for the shot to fire. The actor has repeatedly denied pulling the trigger. Among the plaintiffs are members of the film crew. Alec Badlwin pointed a gun that was supposed to contain only blank bullets. But a projectile killed the director of photography, Halyna Hutchins, and injured the director, Joel Souza.
