The involuntary manslaughter charges against Alec Baldwin in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie "Rust" have been dropped after "new facts" came to light recently, prosecutors announced yesterday. "Consequently, we cannot proceed under the current time constraints and on the facts and evidence turned over by law enforcement in its existing form," prosecutors in New Mexico said. They added that charges could be refiled against Baldwin following further investigation. Baldwin was rehearsing for a scene in the film in October 2021 when the prop gun went off, killing Hutchins. Filming on the movie resumed yesterday at Yellowstone Ranch in Montana and is expected to last at least 20 more days. In the movie, Baldwin's character goes on the run with his grandsons after he is sentenced to hang for the accidental killing of a local rancher. Here's the latest. |

"I had been searching for an answer for so long, and I had really hit a wall with my physical therapy and the meds that I was trying," he told TODAY.com. "I was just exhausted." Only about 5% of the total number of people diagnosed with Parkinson's are under 50. He has used boxing to manage his symptoms and grappled with neurological issues. "My hope is to be a resource to people that are experiencing (depression) ... and to give people the hope that they can fight," he said. See his full story and read about the symptoms here. |
