"Rust Trial: Judge Considers Barring Drug Allegations as Alec Baldwin's Trial Date is Canceled"

A New Mexico judge will consider a request to block prosecutors' allegations that "Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez's supposed drug use contributed to Alec Baldwin's fatal on-set shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Gutierrez's lawyer argues that the government's argument is based on speculation and conjecture, and requests that evidence related to alleged drug possession be excluded from the manslaughter trial. Gutierrez faces trial on Feb. 21, and if a link between her alleged drug use and Hutchins' death is established, she could be found guilty of involuntary manslaughter. Meanwhile, Baldwin has pleaded not guilty to the charge.
