With the recent conviction of Rust's armorer  Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, Alec Baldwin and his legal team are scrambling to gather a defense and their strategy looks pretty questionable. 

According to insider sources, Alec and his  attorney's are gathering up a round of celebrities to potentially testify on Baldwin's behalf. But the strange thing is that many of these celebs are stars that have already spoken  out in Baldwin's defense. 

So it really begs the question: what do they think these  unrelated celebrities will offer to help clear Alec of any wrong doing? At the end of the day, law is law, and no matter how many high-profile stars they drag out to try and woo the jury, Alec still is at fault for pulling that trigger. 
 


From TMZ:


Specifically, we're told Alec and his team would possibly be eyeing public figures who've weighed into the issue of whether an actor can be held responsible for weapons on set.

Worth noting ... our sources say this potential witness list hasn't come to fruition just yet -- remember, the trial is still months away -- and we're told nothing is set in stone either.

Still ... if this comes to pass, it'd be major news -- especially with the potential names.

So far ... Alec has received public support from a number of stars, all of whom have taken a firm stance -- namely, that it's crazy to go after Alec for something he wasn't tasked with checking in an acting capacity. Some of those names include Debra Messing, Mickey Rourke, DJ Qualls, Frances Fisher (who also starred in "Rust") and others.

Interesting to note ... some of these actors have already committed to being available in court if Alec should come to call on them -- including Mickey ... who tells us he's game to testify.
