The trial of actor Alec Baldwin in the shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins is scheduled to commence on Tuesday with the selection of jurors who will determine whether Baldwin is guilty of involuntary manslaughter. The incident occurred during a rehearsal for the film 'Rust' in October 2021 at Bonanza Creek Ranch in New Mexico.
Baldwin, 66, could face up to 18 months in prison if found guilty of the felony. He has maintained that the gun fired accidentally while he was following instructions to point it at Hutchins, resulting in her tragic death and the injury of director Joel Souza.
