  • Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter charges were dismissed due to withheld evidence, ending the criminal trial.
  • Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer found the prosecution guilty of a Brady violation for not disclosing key ammunition evidence.
  • Baldwin's legal team has sent preservation notices to Santa Fe Sheriff Adan Mendoza and prosecutor Kari Morrissey, indicating potential lawsuits.
  • Armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, already convicted, seeks dismissal of her conviction based on the same prosecutorial misconduct.
