shooting trial intend to portray actor and film producer Alec Baldwin as repeatedly flouting safety protocols on the movie set in the days before the fatal shooting of the film's cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, according to a new court filing.
Baldwin has pleaded not guilty to a felony charge of involuntary manslaughter in connection to Hutchins' death. In the court document filed on Monday and later obtained by CNN, prosecutors cited video evidence from the set obtained during the state's criminal investigation, laying out examples of Baldwin's alleged mishandling of the replica revolver he used during the movie's production.
The prosecution plans to also focus on instances during which Baldwin is seen on video with his finger on the trigger of the revolver when a shooting scene was not called for, according to the court filing.
