 A New Mexico judge has decided that actor Alec Baldwin's role as co-producer isn't relevant in his involuntary manslaughter trial over a fatal shooting on the set of the Western film Rust. The actor appeared in court today for a pretrial hearing over a single charge of involuntary manslaughter in the death of a cinematographer, Elena Hutchins, who was killed in October 2021 when a gun Baldwin was holding went off during a rehearsal.
