A judge ruled Friday that Allidh Baldwin must face trial in a civil lawsuit tied to the deadly shooting on the Russ movie set. Serge Spetnoi, the gaffer who worked lighting on that New Mexico production, filed the suit against Baldwin and Russ movie productions. He claims the incident caused him severe emotional distress after watching it unfold. This stems from October 2021 when Baldwin fired a prop gun that killed cinematographer Helena Hutchins.
