US actor Baldwin on trial for shooting death during western shoot
The caravan drove up in several cars. The Baldwins made no comments to the waiting journalists. The 66-year-old actor must answer for reckless manslaughter charges, facing up to 1.5 years in prison. The Hollywood star maintains his innocence.
First, the jurors should be selected, which would take up most of the day. The first hearings are scheduled for Wednesday. Unexpectedly, Baldwin appeared at a hearing on Monday prior to the start of the actual proceedings and took notes. He gave an relaxed impression during this time.
In October 2021, the 42-year-old cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot at the set of the Low-Budget-Western "Rust" with a bullet from a pistol held by Baldwin. The armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was already found guilty of reckless manslaughter and sentenced to 18 months in prison. However, it is still unclear exactly how the weapon was loaded with live ammunition.
