Alec Baldwin’s involuntary manslaughter trial began on July 9 with jury selection. The trial is scheduled to last until July 19.

The prosecution will be given five days to question their witnesses, completing the state’s argument against Baldwin by July 16. Baldwin’s defense was given the following three days to question witnesses.

Closing arguments will begin July 19 as well and the jury will then be dismissed for deliberations.

The prosecution accused Baldwin of placing his finger “on or around” the trigger of the F.LLI Pietta Long Colt 45 Revolver the actor was holding at the time of the shooting. However, Baldwin has maintained he did not pull the trigger.

The 66-year-old actor’s lawyers argued the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was “not foreseeable.”

"No one had any idea that it was on that set or in that gun in that world," Alex Spiro explained. "They were all in it together."
