 Alec Baldwin seeks dismissal of grand jury indictment in fatal shooting of cinematographer
==========

Defense attorneys for Alec Baldwin are seeking the dismissal of a grand jury indictment against the actor in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie 'Rust' in New Mexico. Baldwin has pleaded not guilty to the charge of involuntary manslaughter. His attorneys argue that prosecutors unfairly stacked the deck against Baldwin in the grand jury proceedings, preventing the jury from hearing exculpatory evidence and witnesses. The motion also claims that the grand jury received inaccurate and one-sided testimony about the revolver involved in the shooting. The 'Rust' armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was convicted in the shooting and is awaiting sentencing. Baldwin is scheduled for trial in July.
