Prosecutors sought to cast Alec Baldwin as someone who flouts rules and has little regard for safety at the first day of his New Mexico trial in the shooting of a cinematographer.

A photo is displayed on a screen during Alec Baldwin's manslaughter trial for the 2021 fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during filming of the Western movie"Rust", in Santa Fe, N.M., Thursday, July 11, 2024. SANTA FE, N.M. --

The prosecutor said behind-the-scenes video will show Baldwin casually disregarding basic firearm safety. His wife Hilaria Baldwin, younger brother Stephen Baldwin and older sister Elizabeth Keuchler sat behind him in the gallery again Thursday as the trial got off to a stumbling start on its second day.

Seated in two rows of eight each, jurors and alternate jurors scrawled notes as they listened to testimony. Jurors have their own close-up view of visual exhibits, with six monitors installed in the jury box. "It had been checked and double checked by those responsible for ensuring the gun was safe," Spiro said. "He did not tamper with it, he did not load it himself. He did not leave it unattended."
