Attorneys for actor Alec Baldwin filed a new motion requesting that a New Mexico judge drop his involuntary manslaughter charge after being previously denied.

Meanwhile, prosecutors say they plan to bring new evidence to the table, showing Mr. Baldwin had a history of neglecting safety protocols while on the set of his movie “Rust” and engaged in “horseplay” during firearms training.
