"Alec Baldwin's 'Rust' Manslaughter Trial Boosts Santa Fe Coffee Shop Business"

Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter trial for the accidental shooting on the set of "Rust" is set to begin on July 9 in Santa Fe, with jury selection starting that day and testimony on July 10. Baldwin's attorneys had requested an earlier trial date, citing his eagerness to have the case heard promptly. Baldwin, who denies pulling the trigger, faces up to 18 months in prison if convicted. His defense lawyer plans to seek dismissal of the producer liability portion of the case. The film's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, is also on trial on charges related to the incident.
