Alec Baldwin's Lawyer Responds to FBI Forensic Report Concluding He May Have Pulled Trigger in 'Rust' Shooting
Halyna Hutchins in October 2021 on the set of Alec Baldwin's  film couldn't have been fired without someone first pulling the trigger.In the forensic report, obtained by ABC News, the federal law agency said its accidental discharge testing determined the gun used in the shooting — a .45 colt caliber F.lli Pietta single-action revolver — couldn't have gone off without the trigger being pulled.The report stated that, even with the hammer in the quarter-and half-cock positions, the gun «could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger.» And, with the hammer fully cocked, the gun «could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger while the working internal components were intact and functional.» Furthermore, with the hammer de-cocked on a loaded chamber, the gun was able to detonate a primer «without a pull of the trigger when the hammer was struck directly,» which the report stated as normal for this type of revolver.On Monday, Baldwin's attorney, Luke Nikas, addressed the forensic report's findings in a statement to ET. «The critical report is the one from the medical examiner, who concluded that this was a tragic accident. This is the third time the New Mexico authorities have found that Alec Baldwin had no authority or knowledge of the allegedly unsafe conditions on the set, that he was told by the person in charge of safety on the set that the gun was 'cold,' and believed the gun was safe,» Nikas said.

New electric car battery can charge quicker than it takes to fill a petrol tank
Enovix has unveiled a new electric vehicle (EV) battery that can be charged to almost 100% capacity in under 10 minutes, breaking records for electric vehicle battery charging.Thanks to silicon anode technology, the battery can also be charged from 0% to 80% in as little as 5.2 minutes.If Enovix's battery became commonplace in electric cars, it could eradicate one of the major obstacles people face when buying one, namely the amount of time required to recharge the vehicle. Harrold Rust, CEO of Enovix, said: "Fast charge capability can accelerate mass adoption of EVs [...] EV manufacturers are in pursuit of batteries that support longer range, while the public and private sectors work to increase EV driver access to fast chargers."We're proud to support these goals to help electrify the automotive industry and demonstrate our batteries are an exciting option to power long-range, fast-charging EVs."Electric vehicles have boomed in popularity ever since the price of fuel shot up to record highs earlier this year.According to the Indicata Market Watch report from May, second-hand electric cars are now selling as fast as petrol and diesel vehicles, with sales up 68 percent in April 2022.The government has today been criticised for ending the plug-in car grant scheme, in a move that critics say will deincentivise EV adoption.
