Baldwin's Involuntary Manslaughter Trial Begins

News summary

Alec Baldwin's trial for involuntary manslaughter in the 2021 death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins from a prop gun incident on the set of 'Rust' began with opening statements and witness testimonies. The prosecution portrayed Baldwin as negligent with firearm safety, while the defense argued it was a tragic accident and not his responsibility to check the gun. Baldwin, supported by his wife and family, was seen intently taking notes and maintaining a serious demeanor throughout the proceedings. Key evidence included police body camera footage from the day of the incident, showing Hutchins being attended to by paramedics. The defense also attempted to shift blame to other crew members, including armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed and first assistant director David Halls. Baldwin faces up to 18 months in prison if convicted.
