Judge denies Alec Baldwin's appeal to dismiss charge in 'Rust' shooting

May 25 (UPI) -- The judge presiding over Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter case on Friday denied his bid to dismiss the charge.

New Mexico Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer's decision means Baldwin likely will stand trial again in July for the fatal shooting of a cinematographer Haylna Hutchins on the set of Western movie Rust in 2021.
