 A significant legal win for Alec Baldwin this week as he's about to go on trial for manslaughter. More from Jason Nathanson. Prosecutors in New Mexico have said that Alec Baldwin is responsible for the death of Rust cinematographer Helena Hutchins as the person who was holding the gun that fired and killed her. And that he was also negligent as one of the people responsible for Onset Safety as a producer on the movie. Monday, Judge Marlo Summer agreed with Baldwin's lawyers that his producer status isn't relevant to the case. So I'm denying evidence of his status as a producer.
