TL;DR Summary

The owner of the prop firearms supplier for "Rust" testified that he never provided live rounds to the film's crew, maintaining that he only supplied dummy rounds. He discussed acrimonious conversations with armorer Hannah Gutierrez and denied providing live ammunition, while also addressing concerns about her drug and alcohol use during the shoot. Additionally, a witness testified that Gutierrez allegedly passed off a bag of cocaine after the fatal shooting. Prosecutors rested their case, and the defense is scheduled to call their witnesses. Alec Baldwin, also charged with involuntary manslaughter, pleaded not guilty, and his trial is set for July.
