Testimonies and Tears: Inside the 'Rust' Trial for Halyna Hutchins' Fatal Shooting

Testimony at the trial for the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins by Alec Baldwin during a movie rehearsal turned emotional and argumentative as an eyewitness recounted gun misfires, crew members walking out, and a "ludicrous" pace of work. The trial also featured a video of Baldwin practicing a cross-draw maneuver with the revolver that killed Hutchins, along with searing testimony from a crew member who described the chaotic aftermath of the shooting. Prosecutors argue that the armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, is to blame for bringing live ammunition on set, while defense attorneys highlight her unusual disadvantage and vulnerability as a part-time, 24-year-old armorer without trade-union membership.
