 A New Mexico judge says actor Alec Baldwin's role as a co-producer is not relevant to the involuntary manslaughter trial or a fatal shooting on the set of the movie Rust. Baldwin appeared in court today for a pretrial hearing over a single charge of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the death of cinematographer Helena Hutchins. Hutchins was killed in the fall of 2021 when a gun Baldwin was holding during rehearsal.
