Alec Baldwin Gets His Day in Court: Trial Begins in Fatal Set Shooting

Alec Baldwin is finally getting his day in court, nearly three years after accidentally shooting a cinematographer on set.

Nearly three years after accidentally shooting cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, actor Alec Baldwin gets his day in court on Wednesday, as his involuntary manslaughter trial begins in Santa Fe, N.M. The lead defense lawyer, Alex Spiro, previewed some of the argument during jury selection on Tuesday, when he asked the panel if it is reasonable to rely on gun experts when handling firearms. The defense will argue that Baldwin relied on Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the armorer on “Rust,” to make sure that the gun was safe, and on Dave Halls, the first assistant director, to oversee safety on set.
