TL;DR Summary

The trial of "Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, charged with involuntary manslaughter and evidence tampering in the fatal on-set shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, began with prosecutors alleging her "sloppy" handling of weapons on set. Gutierrez-Reed's attorney argued that Hutchins' death was due to Baldwin's failure to comply with safety regulations. Alec Baldwin, also indicted for involuntary manslaughter, maintains he did not pull the trigger. The trial is expected to feature evidence including video footage, text messages, and witness testimonies.
