TL;DR Summary

The manslaughter trial of "Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who loaded the gun involved in the on-set shooting that killed the movie's cinematographer, began with prosecutors accusing her of performing inadequate safety checks and being responsible for live ammunition on the set. The defense argued that she was being scapegoated due to her lack of power on the set. Alec Baldwin, who was rehearsing with the gun, is being tried separately on an involuntary manslaughter charge.
