Watch Live: Alec Baldwin "Rust" shooting trial continues as prosecution builds case
CBSN
Prosecutors are building their case Thursday against actor Alec Baldwin, who is on trial in New Mexico, accused of involuntary manslaughter in the on-set shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Both the prosecution and the defense completed their opening statements Wednesday in the Santa Fe courtroom of Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer, who also oversaw the trial of the film's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed. Gutierrez-Reed was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment earlier this year.
The case stems from the 2021 on-set shooting of Hutchins, who died at the hospital after being shot with a .45-caliber revolver held by Baldwin in a small church on Bonanza Creek Ranch, a popular filming location near Santa Fe, during a rehearsal.
