alec baldwin He may seek help from other celebrities once his manslaughter trial is over Halina HutchinsReady to die this summer — but there's a catch… TMZ has learned.
A source familiar with the case tells TMZ…the actor's team is considering compiling a list of celebrities who could testify on Alec's behalf at his trial in July. These stars have already spoken out in defense of Alec, who we have been told are the ones who have been involved in the incident.
Waiting for permission to load Instagram media.
Specifically, Alec and his team may reportedly be looking at celebrities considering the issue of whether actors can be held responsible for using weapons on set. There is.
It's worth noting…according to our sources, this potential witness list has yet to materialize — remember, the trial is still a few months away –And it is said that nothing has been decided yet.
Still… if this happens, it would be big news, especially when it comes to potential names.
Anyone who is not in the industry or has never worked on a set should STFU. You are showing your ignorance.

Great prosecutors don't even pursue the real culprit: Who put live bullets in the gun?

There's no research on that. That's the question.— Frances Fisher (@Frances_Fisher) January 20, 2023

So far… Alec has received public support from many stars, all of whom are taking a firm stand – calling him out for not being given the task of checking his acting credentials. That is madness. Among those names are Debra Messing, mickey rourke, DJ Qualls, frances fisher ” (also appeared in “Rust”), etc.
Interestingly… some of these actors have already committed to court if Alec calls them — some of them tell us they're good at testifying. Including Mickey.
I don't know about this. I was handed a gun many times on set, but the only time I believed it was when I was told that the gunfight was not a real battle. How do I know? As a producer he may be at fault, but as an actor pulling the trigger, it could happen to any of us.

Mickey told TMZ, “Whatever Alec needs, I will be there 100%. The armorer is 100% responsible for any guns given to actors, especially actors who have no experience with guns.” he said.
Rourke adds…no one from Alec's legal team has contacted him yet.
As we reported… Alec pleaded not guilty In January, he was charged with manslaughter…more than two years after he picked up a prop gun and detonated it, killing Halina, during a rehearsal for “Rust.”director Joel Souza He was also injured at that time.

set armorer, Hannah Gutierrez Reedit was just convicted of manslaughter While some feel that doesn't bode well for AB, others disagree, arguing that it only solidifies criminal liability for those responsible for controlling weapons on set.
We contacted Alec's attorney. alex spirohas asked for comment, but has not yet received a response.
