Prosecutors in Alec Baldwin's trial in New Mexico have raised concerns about his safety practices on the set of the film 'Rust,' where a tragic incident resulted in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Special prosecutor Erlinda Ocampo Johnson highlighted Baldwin's handling of a revolver during filming, describing it as reckless and dangerous.

Ocampo Johnson emphasized that Baldwin had requested the largest gun available and was seen mishandling it during a training session. She pointed out behind-the-scenes footage showing Baldwin disregarding basic firearm safety protocols, such as pointing the gun at people and objects, cocking the hammer inappropriately, and placing his finger on the trigger when not required.
