Alec Baldwin faces up to 18 months in prison If convicted of involuntary manslaughter stemming from the fatal shooting on the “Rust” set in 2021.
Seventy prospective jurors in Alec Baldwin’s involuntary manslaughter Rust trial were questioned by New Mexico Judge Mary Marlowe Sommers on Tuesday.
The start of jury selection began about two and a half hours later than expected because of issues involving the sound system in the Santa Fe courtroom, New Mexico courts spokesperson Barry Massey confirmed to Newsweek.
Baldwin, 66, wore a grey suit, dark tie, white shirt with glasses and neatly combed hair. He sat in the back of the courtroom with his wife, Hilaria, and his brother Stephen.
The judge read the involuntary manslaughter charge against Baldwin stemming from the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the western movie Rust in October 2021, according to the Associated Press.
