Alec Baldwin Manslaughter Trial Begins for 'Rust' Shooting

The actor faces charges nearly three years after the fatal on-set incident that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Baldwin claims the gun fired accidentally, while prosecutors argue he pulled the trigger.
The trial includes testimonies from key witnesses, including the film's armorer and crew members present during the incident.
Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the film's armorer, has already been convicted of involuntary manslaughter.
Prosecutors must prove Baldwin's criminal negligence despite another conviction in the case.
The trial's outcome could have significant implications for on-set safety protocols in the film industry.
