The actor faces involuntary manslaughter in the 2021 on-set shooting.
Opening statements are underway Wednesday in New Mexico in's manslaughter trial over the 2021 fatal shooting of a crew member on the set of "Rust."
Baldwin, 66, who was also a producer on the film, was indicted by a grand jury on involuntary manslaughter in connection with Hutchins' death earlier this year after prosecutors previously dropped the charge. He pleaded not guilty. Baldwin has maintained that he did not pull the trigger of the firearm, though the FBI's forensic report determined the gun could not have been fired without pulling the trigger.
The judge also ruled that footage from the "Rust" set showing Baldwin's handling of the firearm can be admitted into evidence in the trial, but that videos of him yelling or cussing at the crew to hurry up were not relevant in the case.The film's armorer -- 27-year-old Hannah Gutierrez -- was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in March.
