Lawyers for United States actor Alec Baldwin have said prosecutors in the southwestern state of New Mexico plan to drop criminal charges against their client, following a fatal 2021 shooting on the set of the movie Rust.
“We are pleased with the decision to dismiss the case against Alec Baldwin and we encourage a proper investigation into the facts and circumstances of this tragic accident,” Baldwin’s lawyers, Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro, said in a statement on Thursday.
