The move followed new evidence about the gun Baldwin was holding when it fired the bullet that killed Hutchins during the movie's filming in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a person close to state prosecutors said. Prosecutors continued to charge Gutierrez-Reed, 25, with involuntary manslaughter. She has said she loaded the live round into the gun mistaking it for a dummy round. The preliminary hearing on her case was pushed to Aug. 9.
The information compromised the prosecution's argument the gun was in full working condition and could only fire if Baldwin had recklessly pulled the trigger, according to the person familiar with the case.
