Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin still faces prison time for killing a cameraman. The so-called “soft deal” was canceled.
The 66-year-old actor was holding a fake gun on the set of the western series “Rust” in 2021 and fatally shot cameraman Galina Hutchins with it. It accidentally contained live ammunition.
Baldwin did not admit to pulling the trigger before he was formally charged with manslaughter. So he lost the opportunity to receive a lighter sentence: six months unsupervised probation, a $500 fine, 24 hours of community service and a firearms safety class.
“The prosecution received no response, not even an email from the defense attorney saying they had accepted the offer and would discuss it with their client,” prosecutors said, according to PEOPLE. said.
The actor’s trial will be held in July 2024. If the prosecution proves that Baldwin actually fired the fatal shot, Baldwin could face up to 18 months in prison. This was the sentence received by gun expert Hannah Gutierrez-Reid, who accidentally found live ammunition in her gun.
