According to Baldwin’s lawyers, the charges were wrongly brought under New Mexico’s current gun law, which was not in effect at the time.

The new law provides for a minimum sentence of five years’ imprisonment, up from 18 months under the previous law – if Baldwin is found guilty.

According to the newspaper, the prosecutor agreed to the demand \”to avoid more quarrelsome disturbances\”.
