Since convicting Gutierrez-Reed in the tragic death of 42-year-old Hutchins, lawmen have been laying the groundwork for Baldwin's July trial.

While Baldwin has repeatedly denied pulling the trigger, "he can see where the prosecutors are going by putting a great deal of the responsibility of Halyna's death on his shoulders as a producer," explained the source.

"The pressure is building and he's dealing with it by blaming everybody else for his predicament."

But the 65-year-old actor has no place to hide, insiders said.

"Alec Baldwin's conduct and his lack of gun safety is something he's going to have to answer for," prosecutor Kari Morrissey told jurors in her closing arguments against Gutierrez-Reed. "Not with you — and not today. That'll be with another jury, on another day."

Sources claim the 30 Rock star is feeling increasingly cornered after Gutierrez-Reed's conviction and the pressure has him self-destructively exploding at everyone, including his wife, Hilaria, 40, and their seven children.

"He's justifiably concerned," a source explained. 'But if he continues to drive away his closest supporters, he won't have anyone to visit him when the cell door finally slams behind him!"

As this outlet reported, Baldwin was indicted on involuntary manslaughter charges in January after his initial charges were dropped. The Boss Baby star was initially charged in January 2023.

Those charges were later dropped, but prosecutors warned he could still face new charges as they pursued further independent forensic testing of the prop gun.
