Alec Baldwin,Manslaughter Charges,Film Set Shooting

Alec Baldwin is facing involuntary manslaughter charges after a fatal shooting on the set of the film 'Rust'. The prosecutor claims that Baldwin had 'no control' over his emotions and exhibited unpredictable behavior. The trial is set to take place in July.

Alec Baldwin had 'no control' over his emotions on the set of a film where the cinematographer was shot dead, according to the prosecutor who has charged him with manslaughter. The Hollywood star was holding a Colt .45 during the preparation for a scene in the budget Western 'Rust' when the gun went off, killing Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza.Baldwin, 66, is set to go on trial in New Mexico in July for involuntary manslaughter, a charge he denies.

'The combination of Hannah Gutierrez's negligence and inexperience and Alec Baldwin's complete lack of concern for the safety of those around him would prove deadly,' Morrissey wrote.In her filing, Morrissey said Baldwin, whose high-powered legal team includes eight attorneys, has repeatedly contradicted himself about the shooting in official interviews and in media appearances.
