The trial starts on July 9 with jury selection and is scheduled to last 10 days.
Alec Baldwin’s role as a producer of the Western film Rust isn’t relevant to the involuntary manslaughter trial over a fatal shooting on set, a New Mexico judge decided on Monday.They had planned to present evidence that as a producer, Baldwin bore a special responsibility — well beyond that of the actor holding the gun — for the dangerous environment that led to the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during a rehearsal.
On Monday, the judge sided with prosecutors to exclude at trial the summary findings from a state workplace safety investigation that places much of the blame on assistant director Dave Halls. Several witnesses to the workplace safety investigation are likely to be called to testify at Baldwin’s trial.
Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armourer on set, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in Ms Hutchins’ death and sentenced to 18 months in prison. She is appealing the conviction. Unaware the gun contained a live round, Baldwin said he pulled back the hammer — not the trigger — and it fired.Baldwin’s lawyers also successfully sought to prevent the discussion of fatal gun incidents on movie sets from the trial, including the death of actor Brandon Lee.
