"Expert Testifies on Old West Gun in Fatal 'Rust' Shooting Trial"

Firearms expert testimony in the trial of "Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed casts doubt on Alec Baldwin's claim that his gun malfunctioned in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The expert demonstrated the safety features of the revolver and refuted claims of the gun being modified. The lead detective testified about the investigation, including inconsistencies in Gutierrez-Reed's statements and the source of live ammunition. Prosecutors argue that Gutierrez-Reed is to blame for bringing live ammunition on set and disregarding safety protocols, while defense attorneys point to shortcomings in evidence collection and debriefings after the shooting.
