Jury selection is set to begin Tuesday morning in New Mexico for the trial of Alec Baldwin, who faces charges of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the fatal shooting of the cinematographer on the set of the film “Rust.”

The movie’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, has already been convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to 18 months in prison.
