 This just into the WTOP newsroom. Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter trial still on track after a judge today declined to dismiss the case. Lawyers for the actor requested the case be thrown out because the gun used in the deadly Rust shooting was heavily damaged during FBI forensic testing. The ruling removes one of the last hurdles before prosecutors can bring the case to trial next month. Baldwin is charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of cinematographer Helena Hutchins in 2021. It happened during a rehearsal for the Western film Rust.
