Alec Baldwin's Involuntary Manslaughter Trial Underway in New Mexico

Alec Baldwin, 66, is facing trial for involuntary manslaughter in connection with the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film Rust in October 2021. The trial began on July 9 at a New Mexico courthouse and will determine whether Baldwin committed the felony when a revolver went off during a rehearsal. Prosecutors will argue that Baldwin disregarded industry firearm safety guidelines, while defense attorneys may claim that the actor was unaware the gun was loaded with live ammunition.
