Alec Baldwin's Rust Trial Improperly Dismissed--- Prosecutor

The prosecutor claims that the judge "improperly dismissed" the involuntary manslaughter case against Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin related to a fatal gunshot that occurred on the set of the movie Rust.

Based on testimony that police and prosecutors had concealed relevant evidence from the defense, the trial was dismissed after just three days.

On the New Mexico set in 2021, the actor was carrying a gun when it exploded, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza.

Lead prosecutor Kari Morrissey claims Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer "misunderstood" the facts in the Baldwin and Gutierrez trials.

Based on the wrongdoing of the police and prosecutors in hiding ammunition evidence from the defense, the New Mexico judge dismissed the case and confirmed that charges could not be brought again.

The ammo that was brought into the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office in March, more than two years after the incident, by a guy who claimed it might be connected to Ms. Hutchins' death, was the crucial piece of evidence that proved to be the decisive factor in Baldwin's trial.

The court heard that the investigators concluded that the ammunition was irrelevant and inconsequential; nonetheless, Baldwin's attorneys claimed that the ammo had been "buried" and successfully moved to dismiss the case.
