A producer on the set of the film Rust increased oversights for gun safety only days before Alec Baldwin fatally shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set, jurors were told in courtroom testimony on Wednesday.

The manager was also only partially aware of other misfires that occurred in the days before the fatal shooting on the Western movie set.
