Alec Baldwin Trial: Set ‘Sabotage’ Theory Makes Its Debut in ‘Rust’ Star’s Manslaughter Case

Alec Baldwin’s lawyer began teasing out the theory Thursday that someone may have tried to sabotage “Rust” by slipping live rounds into the ammo supply, framing his questioning of a sheriff’s investigator around the idea that was introduced by armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.

During her February trial — and in early TV interviews — Gutierrez-Reed’s attorney had hinted that someone may have purposely put live bullets in boxes of “dummy” rounds to undermine the young armorer after a camera crew walked off in protest over gun safety. That someone was munitions supplier Seth Kenney, who took the stand in February to deny he was involved in any way.
