Alec Baldwin will be charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of "Rust" cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Experts weigh in on whether Baldwin will see a prison cell.
If Baldwin is convicted, he could be facing up to 18 months in prison. However, if he is convicted of that charge, plus a firearm enhancement, he could serve a mandatory sentence of five years, according to a statement from New Mexico First Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies. Janelle Ash is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.
The district attorney explained that Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed were "charged in the alternative." This means a jury will decide not only if the two are guilty but which definition of involuntary manslaughter their actions fall under.
