Prosecutors are set to file involuntary manslaughter charges in connection with the fatal shooting by actor Alec Baldwin on the set of 'Rust.'

The district attorney said through a spokeswoman Monday that her office will release charging documents and a statement of probable cause outlining the evidence. Hutchins' death already has led to new safety precautions in the film industry.

Prosecutors also said they will release the terms of a signed plea agreement with assistant director David Halls, who oversaw safety on the set. Participants in the un-filmed rehearsal have given conflicting accounts of who handed the gun to Baldwin.Armorer's attorney alleges possible 'sabotage' on 'Rust' set as crew points blame for shooting

Baldwin, also a co-producer on "Rust," has described the killing as a tragic accident. The 64-year-old actor said he was told the gun was safe and has sought to clear his name by suing people involved in handling and supplying the loaded .45-caliber revolver. Defense attorney Jason Bowles, who represents Gutierrez-Reed, said the charges are the result of a "flawed investigation" and an "inaccurate understanding of the full facts."

Seems to me the prosecutors are unsure of themselves. Rightfully so. Mr. Baldwin's attorneys are going to take this case apart. Not to forget about the public who are going to want answers as to why he was even charged in the first place.

It’s a shame this happened in California. He would have zero consequences in Illinois. ( oh wait a white man…. Death penalty)
