'Rust' Jurors Speak Out After Alec Baldwin's Case Is Dismissed


Jurors from Alec Baldwin's dismissed 'Rust' trial argued the 2021 on-set shooting was 'clearly an accident'

While filming his movie Rust in October 2021, Baldwin was holding a gun that misfired, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza. First Judicial District Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the case on July 12, agreeing with the argument presented by Alec’s lawyers that prosecutors may have buried evidence related to the shooting. A motion was filed on Tuesday, July 16, asking that the armorer’s “conviction be overturned immediately” due to “egregious” discovery violations brought to light during Alec’s trial.
