Alec Baldwin calls for speedy trial in Rust shooting manslaughter case

Alec Baldwin has called for a speedy trial after being charged with involuntary manslaughter again in connection with the 2021 fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie, Rust, according to court documents.

“Mr. Baldwin, Article 2, Section 14 of the New Mexico Constitution,” Baldwin’s lawyers wrote in the court filing. “Mr. Baldwin is entitled to a fair and speedy disposition of the charges to minimize public vilification and suspicion and to avoid the hazards of proving his innocence that often arise after lengthy delays in prosecution.”
