Gun and ammunition evidence is the focus as Alec Baldwin trial starts second day
Prosecutors sought to cast Alec Baldwin as someone who flouts rules and has little regard for safety at the first day of his New Mexico trial in the shooting of a cinematographer. Special prosecutor Erlinda Ocampo Johnson repeatedly referred to Baldwin playing “make-believe” with a revolver on the set of the film “Rust.” She says it led to very real danger and the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Baldwin's attorney, Alex Spiro, told jurors that the actor did only what actors always do — act like the characters they're playing. He called the death an “unspeakable tragedy,” but said Baldwin had committed no crime.
