<p>Alec Baldwin&#39;s involuntary manslaughter trial began in New Mexico, where he faces charges for fatally shooting cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of &quot;Rust&quot; in 2021. Baldwin claims the prop gun discharged accidentally during rehearsal. Legal proceedings have been tumultuous, including charges initially dismissed and reinstated. Baldwin&#39;s co-producer status was ruled irrelevant to his case. The trial, expected to last 10 days, features a jury selected after extensive vetting. Hanna Gutierrez-Reed, also implicated, seeks retrial after a manslaughter conviction.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Sources</strong></p> <p>12 jurors selected for Alec Baldwin’s involuntary manslaughter trial (<a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/jurors-selected-alec-baldwin-involuntary-manslaughter-trial-rcna160750">ABC</a>)</p> <p>Defense gives opening statements in trial of Alec Baldwin charged in shooting death on “Rust” film set (<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/watch-live-alec-baldwin-rust-shooting-trial-opening-arguments/">CBS</a>)</p>
