Live Updates: Alec Baldwin's Trial For Death Of 'Rust' Cinematographer Begins
HuffPost
Jury selection began on Tuesday, in a trial set to determine if Baldwin was partially responsible for the 2021 on-set shooting of Halyna Hutchins.
Alec Baldwin’s trial for involuntary manslaughter began on Tuesday in Santa Fe, New Mexico, nearly three years after cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed on the set of the indie western “Rust.”
Hutchins died in October 2021 after a prop gun Baldwin was handling during rehearsal went off. The bullet killed Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza.
The “30 Rock” actor, who was also the producer of “Rust,” entered a not guilty plea after he was recharged in January. Baldwin was first charged in January 2023, but the prosecution dismissed that case in April 2023, citing a delay in forensic analysis.
Film set armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the person responsible with overseeing the production’s weapons for the cast and crew, received the maximum sentence of 18 months in prison earlier this year, after being convicted of involuntary manslaughter.
Though he hasn’t explicitly blamed Gutierrez-Reed for the on-set fatality, Baldwin has adamantly denied pulling the trigger of the gun in public statements and interviews.
