Lawyers for actor Alec Baldwin have filed a fourth motion for a New Mexico court throw out charges of involuntary manslaughter related to the on-set shooting death of the cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in 2021.
On Friday, a New Mexico judge denied an earlier request from Baldwin’s team to dismiss the charges against him, and will consider a separate motion at a hearing on Monday.
Last year, prosecutors dismissed an involuntary manslaughter charge against Baldwin, saying they were informed the gun might have been modified before the shooting and malfunctioned.
Baldwin’s defense team has argued that the gun was prone to malfunctioning.
