Jurors will learn that Alec Baldwin urged his wife and kids to visit him in Santa Fe for a 'good time,' hours after he accidentally shot Halyna Hutchins and Joel Souza on a movie set, according to a ruling Thursday. Baldwin, 66, hadn’t yet learned that Hutchins was dead but knew that she and Souza had been taken to a hospital when he called his wife, Hilaria, from a New Mexico sheriff’s office Oct. 21, 2021.
Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer ruled prosecutors could introduce his conversations with Hilaria, which were captured on video hours after the accident as Baldwin sat alone in a police interview room. Later that evening, Baldwin told Det. Alexandria Hancock, 'You live a very, very difficult but ultimately very narrow life.' Sommer said that statement can also be disclosed to jurors.
The third day of Baldwin’s involuntary manslaughter trial in the First Judicial District Court kicked off with cross-examination of the state’s fourth witness, forensic technician Marissa Poppell. During the brutal hours-long questioning by Spiro, Poppell admitted she didn’t conduct an exhaustive search for live ammunition at a warehouse for the film’s prop supplier after having stated the opposite on direct examination.
The film’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, who was convicted of the same charge Baldwin is facing for loading a live round into the revolver that killed Hutchins, previously told investigators she checked to confirm a bullet was a dummy 'most of the time.'
