Feb. 20 (UPI) -- The request from Alec Baldwin's attorneys to drop a five-year gun-enhancement charge against the actor has been granted.
The Santa Fe New Mexican reports the Sante Fe District Attorney's
Office dropped the charge against Baldwin and armorer Hannah
Gutierrez-Reed on Monday. Baldwin still faces a charge of involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins
during production of the film Rust.
Conviction on the gun-enhancement charge carries a mandatory five-year sentence. If convicted of involuntary manslaughter, Baldwin would face
an 18-month sentence.
On Feb. 10, Baldwin's team filed a motion challenging the gun
enhancement, arguing prosecutors in New Mexico made an error by
applying it to the case against the actor because it did not exist in
its current iteration when the incident took place, according to
Variety.
