A judge has denied a last-ditch effort by Alec Baldwin to dismiss the involuntary manslaughter charge against him over the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins, 42, on the set of his film Rust.
The move comes two weeks before the actor is set to stand trial in New Mexico for the 2021 shooting that left the cinematographer dead.
New Mexico District Court Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer denied 66-year-old Mr Baldwin’s bid to have the charge dismissed, saying it must be resolved at trial.
