Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter trial in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of "Rust" was dismissed by a judge due to prosecutors hiding evidence. First Judicial District Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer stated that the only remedy was dismissal with prejudice, meaning the case cannot be filed again. Baldwin, who sobbed at the decision, could have faced up to 18 months in prison if convicted. His defense argued that the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office failed to disclose crucial evidence regarding live ammunition found on set. Despite special prosecutor Kari Morrissey's disagreement with the decision, she respects it and maintains her commitment to justice. The dismissal follows a turbulent legal journey for Baldwin, including multiple charges being dropped and reinstated. The defense team also successfully argued against Baldwin's producer role impacting the trial. The courthouse drama continues as Gutierrez-Reed's attorney vows to seek her release due to alleged government misconduct.
