Alec Baldwin Faces Footage Of 'Rust' Cinematographer's Last Moments During Trial
HuffPost
During opening statements, the prosecution said the actor flouted the "cardinal rules" of gun safety prior to filmmaker Halyna Hutchins' fatal shooting.
Alec Baldwin watched footage of late “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins right before her death during the first full day of arguments for his involuntary manslaughter trial in New Mexico on Wednesday.
Police body camera footage from the day of the fatal 2021 shooting showed paramedics attending to Hutchins after she was shot by a prop gun that Baldwin was handling while rehearsing a scene for the Western.
The video showed first responders telling Hutchins, “Deep breath, Halyna. Deep breath,” as they tried to stabilize the filmmaker, who died that same day.
In the background, director Joel Souza can be heard screaming in pain as he lifted himself off the ground of the church where the incident happened.
Souza sustained serious injuries after being hit by the same bullet that killed Hutchins.
