Alec Baldwin's Involuntary Manslaughter Trial Begins

Jury selection starts in the case involving the fatal 2021 'Rust' shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

  • Baldwin faces up to 18 months in prison if convicted of involuntary manslaughter.
  • The trial follows the conviction of 'Rust' armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who was sentenced to 18 months.
  • Baldwin maintains he did not pull the trigger; prosecutors argue he neglected safety protocols.
  • Judge ruled Baldwin's role as co-producer is irrelevant to the trial.
  • Jury selection is expected to conclude quickly, with opening statements set for Wednesday.
