Judge Rules 'Rust' Documentary Footage Inadmissible in Alec Baldwin Manslaughter Trial

Court denies prosecutors' request for documentary interviews; armorer Gutierrez-Reed may be compelled to testify.

Alec Baldwin faces trial for involuntary manslaughter in the 2021 death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Prosecutors sought documentary footage they believed contained key information; the judge ruled it inadmissible.
The court may compel armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed to testify, despite her Fifth Amendment claims.
Gutierrez-Reed, convicted of involuntary manslaughter, is serving an 18-month sentence and has filed an appeal.
Baldwin maintains he did not pull the trigger and was unaware the gun contained live ammunition.
