Emmy-winning actor Timothy Busfield appeared in a New Mexico court on two felony counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor and one count of child abuse, with prosecutors alleging a decades-long pattern of grooming and new accusations involving two child actors on the set of The Cleaning Lady; he remains jailed without bond ahead of a pretrial detention hearing.
A New Mexico judge denied a request to compel new testimony from armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed in Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter trial for the fatal shooting on the "Rust" movie set. Gutierrez-Reed, who was previously convicted and sentenced for her role in the incident, invoked her Fifth Amendment rights. The judge ruled that other witnesses could provide necessary testimony, though the state may still call Gutierrez-Reed without immunity. Baldwin's defense argued for dismissal, citing firearm damage during FBI testing, but the judge rejected the motion. Baldwin has pleaded not guilty.
