    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.

    The Democrats who run New Mexico don't really care if a jerk like Baldwin
    gets off for killing a woman. After all, their governor Richardson was an Epstein buddy. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Epstein and Richardson
    were the ones killing those girls that got dug up at a construction site.
