Hollywood star Alec Baldwin, who is facing charges of involuntary manslaughter in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, was offered a deal last October to plead to a misdemeanour.

According to a filing made public, he apparently served no jail time in the accidental shooting on the set of Rust. But before he could decide whether to accept the terms, prosecutors withdrew the offer and told his lawyers they would seek to indict him, the filing states.
