Alec Baldwin's trial in New Mexico opened with contrasting narratives from the prosecution and defense regarding the tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film "Rust." Baldwin, facing charges of involuntary manslaughter, maintains he did not pull the trigger of the gun that killed Ms Hutchins. Prosecutors allege Baldwin violated firearm safety rules and point to the film's tight budget and inexperienced crew as contributing factors. In defense, Baldwin's team argues that actors on set trust the designated crew members to ensure safety, and in this case, those responsible failed their duties. They claim Baldwin was simply doing his job as an actor and that the blame lies with the negligence of others. The prosecution contends that Baldwin's actions with the gun demonstrate a disregard for safety protocols on set. The trial will reveal the details of a tragedy that shook the film industry and led to calls for safer practices on set.
