Alec Baldwin will not be facing years in prison after prosecutors on Monday dropped a firearms enhancement charge originally brought against him in the fatal accidental shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on a New Mexico movie set.
Had Baldwin been convicted of firearms enhancement charge, he would have been punished by imprisonment of 5 years. The 64-year-old actor and director still faces a charge of involuntary manslaughter, which would carry a lesser sentence of up to 18 months in prison if convicted.
