BREAKING: Involuntary manslaughter charges formally filed against actor Alec Baldwin over the fatal shooting on the New Mexico set of the film 'Rust.'
to file charges on Jan. 19, nearly three months after receiving the local sheriff's investigation into the shooting.
Should the case go to trial, a jury would have to decide under which definition of involuntary manslaughter Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed were guilty. For the first count of involuntary manslaughter, prosecutors must prove "underlying negligence," while the second count, involuntary manslaughter in the commission of a lawful act, "requires proof that there was more than simple negligence involved in a death," the district attorney's office said.
Gutierrez-Reed's attorney, Jason Bowles, also pushed back against the charges and called the investigation "flawed."
