The highly anticipated trial of actor Alec Baldwin began with a slight delay as the courthouse experienced Wi-Fi issues, causing a temporary disruption in the proceedings. Baldwin, accompanied by his legal team, patiently waited in the courtroom as the technical difficulties were resolved.
Despite the delay, the courtroom was filled to capacity, with all benches for the public, media, and attorneys occupied. The atmosphere was tense as everyone awaited the start of the trial.
Both Baldwin's defense team and the prosecution were scheduled to deliver their opening statements. Following these statements, the prosecution was set to present its arguments, which are anticipated to span multiple days.
The trial stems from an incident on the set of the film 'Rust' in October 2021, where Baldwin was handling a gun that discharged, resulting in the tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
