The trial of Alec Baldwin initiates in connection to the tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie Rust.
Baldwin faces a charge of involuntary manslaughter following the incident that occurred during filming in October 2021.
Baldwin is alleged to have discharged a real bullet from a prop gun, leading to the tragic death of Hutchins during a rehearsal, marking a shocking and unforgettable incident.
The outcome of the trial, commencing on July 11, could see Baldwin potentially facing up to 18 months in jail.
Expected Trial Duration
If proceedings unfold without complications, the trial is projected to conclude by July 19. The sudden loss of the revered cinematographer has deeply impacted the film industry worldwide, leaving a void in the hearts of many.
Following subsequent reshoots due to conflicts and setbacks, the production of the movie ‘Rust’ has been finalized since May. However, a premiere date is yet to be set as financial resources have been directed towards legal matters, accumulating an estimated $625,000 in expenses.
