Opening statements are expected to get underway shortly, with some notable attendees in the gallery.
Stephen Baldwin, Alec Baldwin’s brother, also an actor, is in the New Mexico courthouse to support his brother. Alec Baldwin’s wife, Hilaria Baldwin, has also arrived.
Attorney Gloria Allred, known for taking on high-profile women’s rights cases, is in court and spoke to the press beforehand.
In her remarks, Allred said, “We want to find the truth about what really happened. Alec Baldwin says he didn’t pull the trigger, I guess we’ll find out.”
Baldwin has pleaded not guilty to charges of involuntary manslaughter against him. He maintains he did not pull the trigger after he discharged a prop gun on the set of movie “Rust” in 2021, which resulted in the death of Halyna Hutchins, the film’s cinematographer.
