Alec Baldwin will have to wait until next week to find out if the involuntary manslaughter charges against him will be dismissed. The actor's legal team appeared at a virtual hearing Friday to argue against criminal charges for Baldwin in connection with the fatal 'Rust' movie set shooting that left cinematographer Halyna Hutchins dead and wounded director Joel Souza.
Prosecutors called out Baldwin's legal team for lying and manipulation in their reply to the actor's motion to dismiss. The defendant's motion to dismiss is predictably false, misleading, and histrionic misrepresentation of the facts and circumstances of the history of the case,' the prosecution's filing said. 'The two special prosecutors who have been assigned the prosecution of Mr. Baldwin have experienced near countless lies and manipulation from the defense for more than one year.
Baldwin had 'no control' over his emotions and was 'frequently screaming and cursing' on the Bonanza Creek set, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital. The actor was also accused of being 'inattentive' during firearms training.
Jury selection will begin July 9, according to New Mexico Courts. The trial is expected to last until July 19.
