Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer listens during a pretrial hearing in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on July 8, 2024. US actor Alec Baldwin is facing a single charge of involuntary manslaughter in the death of a cinematographer. In October 2021, on the New Mexico set of his low-budget Western "Rust," a gun pointed by Baldwin discharged a live round, killing the film's cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding its director.
