Alec Baldwin's Actions on 'Rust' Film Set Revealed in Court Testimonies

TL;DR Summary
During the trial of Rust film's armourer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, footage was shown of Alec Baldwin waving a gun around on set and instructing her to reload it quickly before the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Baldwin, who was holding the gun when it went off, has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter. Prosecutors allege that he endangered safety by rushing production. The trial also heard emotional testimony from Rust's first assistant director, who defended Baldwin, while the firearms expert testified that rushing with firearms is not normal or accepted.
