The Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the death of Halyna Hutchins, the director of photography on the set of the Western film 'Rust'.
Prosecutors had dismissed previous charges against the actor, and Mr Baldwin has maintained he did not pull the trigger.
But an independent forensic test has concluded that it could only have happened if the trigger had been pulled.
