Alec Baldwin accused of 'wilful disregard for others' safety' before Rust death
Earlier this month, Alec and Hilaria appeared downcast as they were spotted grabbing coffee in the NYC neighbourhood of Brooklyn before the Oscar-nominated actor went on to plead not guilty to the charge of involuntary manslaughter following the death of Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust in 2021. A grand injury indicted the actor on involuntary manslaughter in January.
The fourth-degree felony carries a sentence of up to 18 months in prison if convicted. Following the indictment, his attorneys Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro of Quinn Emanuel said: "We look forward to our day in court."
It comes as the trial of Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed is set to begin this week after a Santa Fe judge recently rejected a last-minute bid to throw out the case. Jury selection is scheduled to begin on February 21 and the trial is expected to start on February 22, lasting two weeks.
Gutierrez Reed is set to go on trial on charges of involuntary manslaughter and tampering with evidence. She is accused of recklessly loading a live bullet into Alec Baldwin's gun on the set of the film, which led to the cinematographer's death. If convicted, she could face up to one and a half years in jail and a $5,000 (£3,960) fine under New Mexico law.
Her attorneys previously said they expect a jury will find her not guilty. They said she "pleaded to provide more firearms training" on the set but was "denied and brushed aside."
