Alec Baldwin is now facing significantly reduced prison time over the death of ‘Rust' cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Now, Baldwin faces a charge of involuntary manslaughter for the shooting, which has a lesser prison sentence of 18 months, rather than five years in jail. armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed had the firearms enhancement charge dropped as well and faces the same sentence.

"In order to avoid further litigious distractions by Mr. Baldwin and his attorneys, the District Attorney and the special prosecutor have removed the firearm enhancement to the involuntary manslaughter charges in the death of Halyna Hutchins on the 'Rust' film set. The prosecution's priority is securing justice, not securing billable hours for big-city attorneys,” New Mexico First Judicial District Attorney spokesperson Heather Brewer said in a statement Monday.
