Alec Baldwin Faces Civil Trial

Alec Baldwin Faces Civil Trial

Despite the dismissal of criminal manslaughter charges last year, Alec Baldwin continues to face significant legal challenges stemming from the 2021 death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

The upcoming civil trial will focus on whether Baldwin negligently fired the weapon and if safety protocols were systematically ignored on set.

Judge Trevor Nunley rejected Baldwin's attempt to dismiss the claims, setting a definitive timeline for the jury trial.

The proceedings are expected to feature testimony from numerous crew members and forensic experts.
