The defense filed its motion over what it says is ammunition evidence the prosecution hid from them that may be related to the shooting death of cinematographer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed on the set of the film “Rust” in 2021.
Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer presides over actor Alec Baldwin's trial on involuntary manslaughter for the 2021 fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during filming of the Western movie"Rust," Friday, July 12, 2024, at Santa Fe County District Court in Santa Fe, N.M.
“We don’t know if it’s a live ammunition match or not,” Baldwin’s attorney Luke Nikas told the judge. “But we do know that the state had it, and it’s disclosable.”The issue emerged Thursday on the second day of the actor’s trial during defense questioning of sheriff’s crime scene technician Marissa Poppell.
Morrissey said the bullets were not the same size or chemical composition as the live rounds found on the “Rust” set, including the one that killed Hutchins. Kenney had been cooperative with police and prosecutors throughout their investigation. The defense have suggested that the relationship has been too cozy, and that authorities insufficiently investigated whether he was responsible for the live bullets reaching the set.
