Alec Baldwin's 'Rust' Involuntary Manslaughter Trial Begins in New Mexico, Faces 18 Months
Jul 9, 2024, 12:55 PM
Alec Baldwin's trial for involuntary manslaughter has commenced in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Baldwin faces charges related to the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and the wounding of director Joel Souza on the set of the film 'Rust' in October 2021. If convicted, Baldwin could face up to 18 months in prison. The trial will focus on whether Baldwin acted with 'willful disregard' for safety and whether he pulled the trigger or if the gun misfired. The inner workings of the Colt .45 Peacemaker revolver used in the incident will be a key focus. A New Mexico judge has ruled that Baldwin's role as a producer will not be considered in the trial, which is seen as a significant win for the defense. Jury selection has been completed, and opening statements are expected to begin shortly. The trial is expected to draw significant media attention, with multiple news organizations covering the proceedings.
