The actor faces up to 18 months in jail if found guilty of the involuntary manslaughter of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Jury selection got off to a slow start Tuesday in a New Mexico courtroom at the involuntary manslaughter trial of Alec Baldwin in the shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film Rush in 2021.
When Judge Mary Marlowe Summer asked the pool of 70 prospective jurors if they were familiar with the case, all but two raised their hands to indicate they were.Baldwin could face up to 18 months in prison. He has been charged with involuntary manslaughter after he pointed a revolver at Hutchtins when it fired and killed her.
Baldwin claims the gun fired accidentally after he followed instructions to point it at Hutchins, who was behind the camera. The 66-year-old trial is expected to last nine days in Santa Fe, New Mexico, as the prosecution will argue that Baldwin used the gun in a way that he never should have.
