Episode: Alec Baldwin Trial Begins
Description: Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter trial began in New Mexico, where he faces charges for fatally shooting cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of "Rust" in 2021. Baldwin claims the prop gun discharged accidentally during rehearsal. Legal proceedings have been tumultuous, including charges initially dismissed and reinstated. Baldwin's co-producer status was ruled irrelevant to his case. The trial, expected to last 10 days, features a jury selected after extensive vetting. Hanna Gutierrez-Reed, also implicated, seeks retrial after a manslaughter conviction.
