2 months ago
LOS ANGELES: The safety coordinator on the Alec Baldwin film โRustโ was convicted yesterday of unsafe handling of a firearm and sentenced to six monthsโ probation for his part in the fatal on-set shooting of its cinematographer.
The verdict was the result of a plea deal and means Dave Halls, who was also assistant director of the low-budget Western, becomes the first conviction over the accident, for which Baldwin faces manslaughter charges.
