Alec Baldwin Speaks Out Following Rust Shooting Case Dismissal: 'I Appreciate Your Kindness'

Alec Baldwin reacted to the dramatic dismissal with prejudice of his involuntary manslaughter trial in an Instagram post on Saturday, July 13. He was charged earlier in 2024 by a New Mexico grand jury over the accidental shooting that killed Halyna Hutchins on the set of his movie 'Rust' in 2021.

Baldwin was indicted by a New Mexico grand jury in January after the gun he was holding during a 2021 rehearsal on the set of his Western movie discharged, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza. The actor’s legal team had repeatedly asked for the case to be dropped, including on July 12, when special prosecutor Kari Morrissey made the unusual move of taking the stand herself to testify about possibly suppressing relevant evidence. The couple share seven children: Ilaria Catalina Irena, 19 months, María Lucía Victoria, 3, Eduardo "Edu" Pao Lucas, 3, Romeo Alejandro David, 5, Leonardo Ángel Charles, 7, Rafael Thomas, 8, and Carmen Gabriela, 10.
