Alec Baldwin is set to go on trial next week in New Mexico for the involuntary manslaughter of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was shot and killed nearly three years ago on the set of the film 'Rust.' The trial will address whether Baldwin knew the dangers of using real guns on film sets, a point of contention between his legal team and state prosecutors. This case has drawn significant attention, partly due to Baldwin's high-profile status and the tragic on-set shooting death of actor Brandon Lee, which has parallels to this incident. Efforts to dismiss the case have failed, and the trial will proceed as scheduled.
