A jury is to retire to consider whether a movie weapons supervisor should be held to blame over the fatal shooting of a cinematographer by Alec Baldwin on the set of a Western movie.

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, 24, who was working on her second feature film at the time of the 2021 shooting, has pleaded not guilty to charges of involuntary manslaughter and evidence tampering at a trial in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
