Despite Alec Baldwin insisting for two years that he did not pull the trigger in the tragic shooting on the set of the film Rust. Per NBC 5, prosecutors have received a second expert analysis of the revolver fired in the shooting. The new gun analysis from experts in ballistics and forensic testing based in Arizona and New Mexico relied on replacement parts to reassemble the gun fired by Baldwin, after parts of the pistol were broken during earlier testing by the FBI. The new report examines the gun and markings it left on a spent cartridge to conclude that the trigger had to have been pulled or depressed.
Special prosecutor Kari Morrissey said in an email Tuesday that a formal announcement on whether to refile any charges against Baldwin is forthcoming but didn’t say how soon.
