In a compelling first day of testimony at Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter trial, jurors were shown dramatic body camera footage from the aftermath of the accidental shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on a movie set. Baldwin appeared stone-faced in court as emergency responders attempted to save Hutchins' life after he was mistakenly handed a gun with a live round during filming. Prosecutors claimed Baldwin "played make-believe with a real gun," while his lawyer argued he was simply an actor following directions. The heartbreaking footage showed Hutchins and director Joel Souza on the ground surrounded by medics, with Hutchins tragically passing away. Baldwin's demeanor during the incident was described as sad and upset, with authorities focusing on medical aid and securing the crime scene. The trial continues with high stakes for Baldwin, facing up to 18 months in prison if convicted.
