Alec Baldwin's Emotional Control on 'Rust' Set Questioned by Prosecutors

Prosecutors allege that Alec Baldwin had "no control" over his emotions and "no concern" for others on the Rust film set before the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, and they plan to argue that his conduct contributed to safety compromises. They also claim that Baldwin shamelessly lied and changed his story about the shooting, and had been offered a misdemeanor plea deal which was rescinded when prosecutors learned he was planning a documentary about Hutchins. Baldwin has pleaded not guilty and is set to go on trial in July.

Judge Denies New Trial Request for 'Rust' Armorer in Cinematographer Shooting

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer on the film "Rust," will remain in jail as a judge denied her request for release and refused to order a new trial in the case of the fatal shooting of the film's cinematographer. She faces up to 18 months in prison after being convicted of involuntary manslaughter for inadvertently bringing live bullets onto the set and failing to properly check the rounds before loading one into Alec Baldwin's gun. The judge disagreed with the defense's argument that a new ruling from the New Mexico Supreme Court in another case would overturn Gutierrez-Reed's conviction. Alec Baldwin is scheduled to face his own involuntary manslaughter trial in July for pointing the gun at the cinematographer and allegedly pulling the trigger.

'Rust' Ammo Supplier Denies Providing Live Rounds in Fatal Cinematographer Shooting

An ammunition supplier testified that he only provided inert dummy rounds to the film "Rust," contradicting claims that live rounds were present on set. The trial of "Rust" movie armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, charged with involuntary manslaughter and evidence tampering in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, may hinge on the source of live rounds found on set. The defense argues Gutierrez-Reed is being unfairly scapegoated, while the prosecution blames her for bringing live ammunition on set. Additionally, the trial delved into evidence related to a tampering charge against Gutierrez-Reed, stemming from accusations that she handed a small bag of possible narcotics to another crew member after the shooting.

"Emotional Testimony and Safety Lapses: Inside the Intense Rust Trial"

During the trial for the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of "Rust," the assistant director, David Halls, broke down in tears while testifying about the moments after the deadly gunshot, conflicting with other accounts about the handling of the revolver. Halls described a safety check in which the revolver was emptied of bullets, then loaded with dummy rounds and a live round before being handed to Alec Baldwin. He also recounted standing just 3 feet from Hutchins when the gunshot rang out and his struggle to understand how a live round could have been fired. The testimony of Halls, who pleaded no contest last year to negligent use of a firearm, may weigh significantly as prosecutors reconstruct the chain of events leading to the shooting. Defense attorneys argue that problems on the set were beyond Hannah Gutierrez-Reed's control, while prosecutors blame her for bringing live ammunition on set and treating safety protocols as optional.

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.

"Emotional Testimony and FBI Analysis: Updates on Alec Baldwin's 'Rust' Trial"

Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter trial for the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of "Rust" in October 2021 has been scheduled for July, with jury selection set to begin on July 9. Baldwin, who pleaded not guilty, faces the charge after accidentally shooting Hutchins while practicing a cross-draw. Two others involved in the shooting, armorer Hannah Gutierrez and first assistant director David Halls, have also faced charges. Gutierrez's trial began last week, with prosecutors alleging she tampered with evidence by handing off a small bag of cocaine after the shooting. Defense attorney Jason Bowles claimed the production created a chaotic scene, taking away from Gutierrez's job as lead armorer and not providing sufficient training for the crew on firearms.
