Alec Baldwin pleads not guilty in fatal 'Rust' shooting
Alec Baldwin was charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter
By Lauryn Overhultz | Fox News Alec Baldwin pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter in connection with the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Baldwin entered his plea on Thursday, waiving his first appearance in court, according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital.
The former "30 Rock" actor was set to appear virtually in court Friday at 12 p.m. ET.
His conditions of release prohibit him from possessing firearms or other dangerous weapons. The actor is also not allowed to consume alcohol, which should not affect Baldwin, who has been sober since 1985.
Baldwin's contact with potential witnesses in the "Rust" case is limited as well, and he is not allowed to discuss the incident with them. He is only allowed to contact them in the capacity of related or unrelated business matters pertaining to finishing the filming of the movie, according to the documents.
"Related business matters" refers to finishing the film, promoting the film and other activities, while "unrelated business matters" refers to other business-type relationships Baldwin may have with witnesses.
