The road to Alec Baldwin’s trial was paved with twists and turns.
He was originally charged with involuntary manslaughter and a firearm enhancement charge, but the latter charge was eventually dropped. The charges against Baldwin were dismissed altogether in April 2023 as prosecutors cited “new facts in the case.” Then, in January, a grand jury indicted him on involuntary manslaughter once again.
Baldwin’s lawyers last month asked the judge to toss the case, arguing that the firearm was badly damaged during forensic testing at an FBI lab. But their motion was denied.
