Alec Baldwin, the actor who shot and killed Halyna Hutchins in Rust’s movie set, is on trial for involuntary homicide.
We reported earlier in the week on the decisions made in this matter, including the judge’s ruling that Baldwin’s role as a coproducer was irrelevant to the case. Baldwin won the case, as this could lead to a better understanding of safety on set.
Baldwin had a wild moment during the trial on Thursday. The prosecutor read out some embarrassing things that he had said to a police detective and talked about the motivation for lying. Baldwin was criticizing the detective in his remarks, saying that the detective led a “narrow” life. Baldwin was seen in the video rocking backward and forwards and fuming. What happens next, and his reaction?

His attorney’s reaction as he tries to figure out what is going on, when he gets up and leaves the room, is priceless.
When you are on trial, it’s not a good idea to stalk out. You can’t leave the courtroom whenever you want to when you’re on trial. He should have asked for a break if he was in a hurry.
He was fortunate that the jury wasn’t present at the time of the trial, so they weren’t able to see his stupid behavior.
Hannah Gutierrez Reed, an armorer, is expected to testify for the prosecution on Friday.
Baldwin’s family is a familiar sight.
Matt Johnson Baldwin of Court TV and his wife are filming a reality show in the town during the trial.
Johnson told Inside Edition that “the optics made him look like an innocent person, a man who is a father and a regular guy.” “He’s shooting a reality series here. One can only assume this will be an episode.”
How gross can one get? It’s not a great look.
Attorney Gloria Allred who represents Hutchins’ mom and sister, has criticized the actor for announcing his TV project before the trial. She also questioned if he and his wife were promoting the new venture by their public appearances at Santa Fe.
She said, “It seems to me that it was a calculated, cynical public relations effort to gain sympathy for Alec Baldwin. He not only brought his child but also allowed him to be photographed from his car.”
