TL;DR Summary
The trial of "Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, charged with involuntary manslaughter and evidence tampering in connection with the fatal shooting on set, began with dramatic audio and footage of the shooting victims. Prosecutors accused Gutierrez-Reed of negligence and unprofessionalism, showing photos of live ammo on set and claiming she brought the live rounds to the set. Gutierrez-Reed's defense blamed Baldwin and the production company, alleging they were negligent and put her in a difficult position. Alec Baldwin also lost his bid to dismiss a wrongful death lawsuit brought by the family of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
