What is the reaction of the actor of “Rust” after the new charge of negligent homicide
Alec Baldwin answered the new category for manslaughter charged last week with his own request for a speedy trial, according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital.
“Mr. Baldwin is entitled to a fair and speedy trial to minimize public exposure and suspicion and to avoid the dangers to the proof of his innocence, which often arise after long delays in a criminal prosecution,’ the documents state.
In addition, Baldwin demanded that the New Mexico Attorney General to “preserve all evidence” related to the case and a written list of all “witnesses the prosecutor intends to call at trial.”
Baldwin was charged last Friday with involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of filmmaker Halyna Hutchins on the set of the 2021 film “Rust.”

This is the second time a grand jury has indicted Alec Baldwin in the death of Halyna Hutchins. The actor was – initially – charged with two counts of negligent homicide on January 31, 2023, and the charges were later dropped in April 2023.
Baldwin’s legal team asked “the results or reports of physical or mental examinations and scientific tests or experiments, including all polygraph examinations of witnesses, taken in connection with the particular case, or copies thereof, which are in the possession, custody or control of the state and the existence of which is known or can be known to the public prosecutor with due diligence”.
In addition, his defense requested “any material evidence favorable to the defendant which the state is required to produce under the due process clause of the United States Constitution.” “Failure to provide this information violates the accused’s right to a fair trial”the documents state.
