Alec Baldwin could face more legal trouble for the deadly shooting on the set of the film Rust. A forensic report commissioned by special prosecutors found that Baldwin's revolver would only fire if the trigger was pulled. This report was released yesterday.
Baldwin has denied pulling the trigger on the gun that killed cinematographer Hala Hutchins. Previously, voluntary manslaughter charges were dismissed in April due to evidence suggesting the gun may have misfired after tampering.
