Alec Baldwin Might Name Hannah Gutierrez-Reed as Witness Throughout Trial

Alec Baldwin filed a witness list for his upcoming involuntary manslaughter trial, and it includes some “Rust” crew members — like the recently imprisoned Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.

The actor’s attorneys submitted their list to the court Friday, and it’s chock-full of potential names they say they might call come judgment day … everything from actual eyewitnesses to sheriff’s deputies, and even experts in relevant fields.

HGR asked the judge for mercy before her sentencing — and, more specifically, probation — but, the court ultimately handed down an 18-month prison term to Hannah … the maximum penalty.

It’s interesting that Alec would be willing to call upon her … ’cause you’d figure she’d be more than eager to place the blame on him as opposed to herself.

Among other possible witnesses for AB … Dave Halls — the film’s first AD who got probation after pleading no contest to negligent use of a deadly weapon — as well as the unit production manager and another “Rust” crew member, all of whom Alec is eyeing to call to the stand.

Baldwin’s also included many of the investigators’ names — like Sheriff Adan Mendoza — and at least one doctor to the list … although it’s not clear exactly who he might call.

The prosecution, on the other hand, submitted a list with twice as many names as Baldwin’s … including police officers, “Rust” crew members — and even director Joel Souza, who was shot in the same incident that killed Halyna.

One more thing to note … we told you Alec’s legal team was considering calling celeb witnesses like Frances Fisher ir Mickey Rourke to his defense, but those names didn’t show up on this list … so on its face, it would appear they abandoned those plans.
