Actor Alec Baldwin is expected to make a remote appearance in a New Mexico courtroom regarding the 2021 fatal shooting on the set of his film 'Rust.' Baldwin, who held the gun that fired the fatal shot, resulting in the death of cinematographer Helena Hutchins, has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter, claiming he never pulled the trigger. Initial charges against Baldwin were dropped, but a grand jury indicted him earlier this year after new facts emerged.
The armorer, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, is set to begin her trial this month. Recent developments in the case include allegations of Reed's inexperience and possible drug use, with claims that she may have brought live ammunition onto the set and mixed it with dummy ammunition. Text messages suggesting drug use have surfaced, potentially impacting Reed's trial on charges of involuntary manslaughter and tampering with evidence.
