Judge Upholds Dismissal of Alec Baldwin’s ‘Rust’ Charges
The judge who dismissed the involuntary manslaughter charges against Alec Baldwin upheld her own decision in a ruling Thursday.
In July, New Mexico Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the single felony count against the actor “with prejudice” after the defense discovered that prosecutors and investigators withheld ammunition evidence related to the accidental shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in October 2021 on the set of the Western film Rust. Following the dismissal, lead special prosecutor Kari Morrissey asked the judge to review her decision as well as examine whether the defense was actually aware of the allegedly withheld evidence. Next month, three years after Hutchins’ death, Rust will finally hold its world premiere at Poland’s Camerimage, an annual cinematography festival.
