 Jury selection gets underway today in Alec Baldwin's Rust criminal trial. A New Mexico judge delivered a blow to the prosecution yesterday, ruling Baldwin's role as the producer on the film is not relevant to the case. Prosecutors had sought to argue that as a producer, he had the power to control safety on the set. Baldwin is charged with involuntary manslaughter after the gun he was holding fired, killing cinematographer Helena Hutchins in 2021. He faces up to 18 months in jail if convicted.
