‘Rust’ Trial Gets Heated as Defense Faults Incomplete Sheriff’s Investigation
Hannah Gutierrez Reed's defense lawyer faulted detectives for not doing a more thorough investigation of how live rounds got on the set of 'Rust.'
In his opening statement, prosecutor Jason Lewis argued that photos show that Gutierrez Reed had the live rounds on set as early as Oct. 10 — 11 days before the shooting — and failed to notice them.

Baldwin, who was holding the gun that fired the fatal shot, is not scheduled to testify, as he will be facing his own involuntary manslaughter trial in July.
