Alec Baldwin’s 'Rust' Trial for Involuntary Manslaughter: What to Know


Alec Baldwin is headed to trial in July for involuntary manslaughter after cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed on the set of ‘Rust’ in 2021

According to a June report from the Associated Press, there is a court-approved witness list of more than 60 people, which includes Souza and assistant director Dave Halls, who earlier pleaded no contest to negligent use of a deadly weapon. Later that month, Baldwin’s legal team filed paperwork emphasizing their “demand for speedy trial, discovery and exculpatory information, notice of defense intent to call witnesses,” according to docs obtained by Us. The docs stated that Baldwin was hopeful to “minimize public vilification and suspicion” with a quicker trial and to “avoid the hazards of proving his innocence that often arise after a lengthy delay in prosecution.”
