    A judge has declined to reconsider criminal charges against Alec Baldwin over the death of Halyna Hutchins

    The cinematographer was accidentally shot and killed on the set of 'Rust' in 2021, but Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer has now insisted that involuntary manslaughter charges - which were thrown out in July - will not be reconsidered


    She wrote: "State does not raise any factual or legal arguments that would justify the grant of a motion to reconsider."

    The charges were thrown out earlier this year after it was revealed during trial that prosecutors withheld evidence from the defence.

    At the time, the actor's attorneys claimed that live ammunition that related to the investigation was "concealed" from them.

    In response to the latest request, the judge explained: "Because the State's Amended Motion raises arguments previously made, and arguments that the State elected not to raise earlier, the Court does not find the Amended Motion well taken."

    Baldwin, 66, was indicted by a New Mexico grand jury in January after the gun he was holding during a rehearsal on the set of 'Rust' discharged, killing Hutchins and injuring the film's director, Joel Souza.

    Baldwin has subsequently maintained that he didn't pull the trigger of the gun or know why it contained live ammunition.

    Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the film's armourer, was jailed for 18 months in April after being found guilty of charges connected to the incident.

    'Rust' resumed filming and finished its shoot in May 2023, saying in an Instagram post marking its completion: "It's been a long and difficult road. But we reach the end of the trail today."
