The prosecutors gave Mr. Baldwin — who had been rehearsing with a gun when it discharged a live bullet, killing the cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins — about three weeks to decide. That decision led to an indictment and, now, a trial that could lead to a maximum punishment of 18 months in prison if Mr. Baldwin is convicted. The prosecutors decided to dismiss the original indictment against Mr. Baldwin while they had the gun examined. Ms. Morrissey learned that an NBC News reporter had the details of the “presumed confidential” plea offer, she wrote in court papers. “He has no title or credit in either documentary,” Mr. Nikas wrote, calling him a subject of the projects.

The involuntary manslaughter trial of the armorer who loaded the gun Alec Baldwin was rehearsing with on the set of “Rust” when it fired, killing the movie’s cinematographer, began on Thursday with prosecutors accusing her of performing “sloppy and incomplete” safety checks of the weapon and of being responsible for the presence of live rounds on the set. During opening arguments one of the prosecutors told the jury that the armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, had treated gun safety protocols on the film set “as if they were optional,” leading her to miss the fact that she had loaded a live round into an old-fashioned revolver she was preparing for Mr. Baldwin. The gun went off as he practiced drawing it at a blocking rehearsal, killing the film’s cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins. “We believe that it was the negligent acts and failures of the defendant, Ms. Gutierrez, that resulted in both the acts that contributed to Ms. Hutchins’s death and to the live rounds being brought onto the set,” the prosecutor, Jason J. Lewis, said in the First Judicial District Courthouse in Santa Fe, N.M., as the trial began.

“Rust,” the low-budget Western film that halted production after the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on set in October 2021, will resume filming this spring. Details of the film’s next steps come after New Mexico prosecutors brought involuntary manslaughter charges against actor and producer Alec Baldwin and the film’s armorer for the on-set shooting that resulted in Ms. Hutchins’s death. It also comes less than a week after the parents and sister of Ms. Hutchins filed a new lawsuit against the production company, Mr. Baldwin and others involved.
The parents and sister of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins filed a lawsuit against Alec Baldwin and the film’s production team Thursday. New Mexico prosecutors last month brought involuntary manslaughter charges against Mr. Baldwin in the on-set shooting that resulted in Ms. Hutchins’s death. Last year, the actor and the “Rust” production team reached a settlement in a separate wrongful-death lawsuit brought by Ms. Hutchins’s husband.
