A New Mexico judge decided on Monday that actor Alec Baldwin’s role as co-producer isn’t relevant to the involuntary manslaughter trial over a fatal shooting on the set of the Western film “Rust.”
Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer ruled that evidence won’t be allowed at trial about Mr. Baldwin’s secondary role on the movie, siding with defence attorneys.
Special prosecutor Erlinda Johnson argued unsuccessfully to allow evidence that Baldwin’s role as a producer made him keenly aware of his responsibilities on set for safety.
The trial starts on Tues with jury selection and is scheduled to last 10 days.
