Alec Baldwin is facing an involuntary manslaughter charge for the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins on the set of ‘Rust.’
Jury selection begins Tuesday, July 9, with opening arguments scheduled for Wednesday, July 10, and closing arguments set to start Friday, July 19.
Hilaria Baldwin supported her husband, Alec Baldwin, as jury selection commenced in his Rust trial.
Baldwin achieved a legal victory on Monday when Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer ruled that prosecutors could not introduce evidence of his status as a producer on ‘Rust.’
Jury selection began with a two-hour delay due to technical issues and heat in the courtroom, which led to a change of rooms.
The trial has brought the inner workings of a Colt .45 “Peacemaker” revolver, a symbol of the American Wild West, into focus.
Halyna Hutchins’ 2021 death marked Hollywood’s first on-set shooting fatality in three decades and briefly reignited calls to end the use of real firearms on movie sets.
In March, ‘Rust’ armorer Hannah Gutierrez, responsible for firearm safety on the set, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter by a Santa Fe, New Mexico, jury for mistakenly loading a live round into Baldwin’s gun. Gutierrez received the maximum 18-month sentence.
Alec Baldwin faces a felony involuntary manslaughter charge, which carries a potential sentence of 18 months in prison if unanimously convicted by the jury.
