According to The Hollywood Reporter, the new evidence shows that "the gun the actor was holding had been altered".
If found guilty, the actor could face up to 18 months in prison.

IT TURNED OUT TO BE A LIVE BULLET
Testifying after the fatal accident on the set, Baldwin said that co-director Halls gave him the gun and told him it was "safe". Co-director Halls, on the other hand, said in his statement that he did not know that there were "real bullets" in the gun. Thus, it was revealed that the gun in Baldwin's hand had real bullets.
