Alec Baldwin's Involuntary Manslaughter Case Is Dismissed by Judge

Alec Baldwin was indicted for involuntary manslaughter in January following the October 2021 death of Halyna Hutchins on the set of ‘Rust’

First Judicial District Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the case on Friday, July 12, in a Santa Fe, New Mexico court, agreeing with Baldwin’s lawyers that prosecutors hid evidence that may have been linked to the fatal shooting. Per Fox News, crime scene technician Marissa Poppell testified during cross-examination on Thursday, July 11, that a “good samaritan” handed over live ammunition after the conclusion of Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed ‘s trial to Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Department. First assistant director David Halls, who handed the gun to Baldwin before the shooting, pleaded no contest to negligent use of a deadly weapon and was sentenced to six months of unsupervised probation.
