Apparently, Alec Baldwin did not want to go through the Zoom circus in New Mexico to face the new charges against him, so he is making a statement from an even greater distance.
The actor relinquished his scheduled appearance on Thursday morning, where he was expected to appear in a court in Santa Fe to express his feelings about the renewed charge of involuntary manslaughter brought against him in recent weeks.
Instead, he has just filed a plea of not guilty through his attorneys, opting to do so virtually. It makes sense, as he has indicated through his attorneys that he wants all of this to be done swiftly and out of the spotlight.

It is worth noting that Alec made it clear last week that he is entitled to a speedy trial, emphasizing that he does not want to prolong this more than necessary. There are some release conditions he must abide by, such as not consuming alcohol, illegal substances, firearms, and not leaving the U.S. without written permission… the usual.
Now that he has pleaded not guilty, the case can proceed, and he will ultimately have to come to court for trial. Considering Alec has denied any wrongdoing from the outset, all signs point to the final battle being in front of a jury.
Alec has received recent support, specifically, from SAG-AFTRA, who issued a statement saying that it is not an actor’s job to check firearms on set.
Remember, the district attorney’s office already tried to prosecute him once – but dropped the charges… only to resurrect again through a grand jury, presumably on new evidence they believe solidifies their case.
With Alec’s innocence plea now on the record, we can move forward with this once and for all.
