Alec Baldwin claims gun enhancement in fatal 'Rust' shooting charge 'unconstitutional': 'Basic legal error'
Fox News
Alec Baldwin's legal team filed a new motion to dismiss a five-year firearm sentencing enhancement in the charges against him. The "Rust" actor has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of Halyna Hutchins.
However, the Santa Fe District Attorney’s office proclaimed that Baldwin and his attorneys were attempting to distract from the negligence and "reckless" disregard for safety that led to the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Baldwin's attorneys argued the firearms enhancement was not a part of the law when the fatal shooting of Hutchins occurred, and that he could not legally be punished retroactively, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital.
