Actor Alec Baldwin’s conduct on the set of the movie “Rust” has been scrutinised in a New Mexico state court.
During the ongoing trial for the involuntary manslaughter case of the film’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the jury was shown behind-the-scenes footage. An expert witness offered an unsettling view of the handling of firearms on set.
The object of focus was the clear demonstration of “unsafe” gun handling routines. In addition to that, attention was drawn towards behavior from Alec Baldwin that was described as “nerve-wracking”.
