Alec Baldwin Manslaughter Trial: Jury Selection Begins in Santa Fe

Actor Alec Baldwin's trial for involuntary manslaughter in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins begins in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Jury selection is set for Tuesday and expected to move quickly, despite Baldwin’s high profile. Hutchins was killed on the set of the film “Rust” in 2021 when a revolver Baldwin was holding fired. The key dispute centers on whether Baldwin pulled the trigger. Prosecutors face a setback as Baldwin’s role as a producer is ruled irrelevant, but they can introduce graphic evidence from Hutchins' autopsy. The trial is expected to conclude within nine days.
