00:00A New Mexico prosecutor drops the appeal for actor Alec Baldwin's dismissed involuntary
00:05manslaughter charges stemming from a fatal shooting on the set of his movie, Rust.
00:10Baldwin's lawyers say this is his final vindication.
00:13Cinematographer Helena Hutchins died when Baldwin pointed a gun at her as they set up
00:17a shot on the film Rust in 2021.
00:20The gun fired a live round inadvertently loaded by the movie's chief weapons handler, Hanna
00:24Gutierrez.
00:25Gutierrez was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in March.
00:29Baldwin denied pulling the trigger, but firearms experts found the gun would not fire without
00:33anyone pulling the trigger.
00:35Historian Alan Rhodes says it is the first on-set fatal shooting with a live round mistaken
00:40for a blank since Hollywood's silent era.
