Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer is currently presiding over a hearing where the prosecution and defense are discussing evidentiary items outside the presence of the jury. The proceedings hit a snag when special prosecutor Kari Morrissey pointed out the absence of actor Alec Baldwin in the courtroom, insisting that the defendant must be present to begin the session.
Following Morrissey's objection, Baldwin's legal team promptly escorted him into the courtroom, allowing the hearing to proceed. The focus of the discussion has now shifted to how Baldwin's demeanor on the day of the film shooting can be accurately portrayed to the jury.
