‘Rust’ movie shooting trial begins after bumpy road to prosecution

LA Times  

Hannah Gutierrez arrives at the First Judicial District Courthouse in Santa Fe, N.M., on Wednesday for the start of her trial on charges of involuntary manslaughter and tampering with evidence. More than two years after Alec Baldwin fired the deadly shot, questions persist about who was responsible for the accidental death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the western movie “Rust.” After a long and bumpy prosecution, the first trial in the “Rust” shooting tragedy begins this week in a courtroom in Santa Fe, N.M. A photo released by the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office shows Alec Baldwin immediately after the shooting of Halyna Hutchins and Joel Souza on the “Rust” set. “But another life lost — another death that could have been prevented.” Gutierrez’s “Rust” trial is getting underway 10 years after another movie set accident that injured Gilliard and claimed the life of Sarah Jones, a camera assistant. “In ‘Rust,’ there were safety protocols in place, but they weren’t followed.” For the last year, special prosecutors have built the case against Gutierrez, who has acknowledged loading Baldwin’s Colt.45 caliber revolver with what she thought were “dummy” bullets.
