Judge Dismisses Alec Baldwin's 'Rust' Manslaughter Case Over Concealed Evidence

The trial ended abruptly after revelations of undisclosed ammunition evidence, raising questions about prosecutorial conduct.

  • Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter trial was dismissed by a New Mexico judge due to concealed evidence.
  • The judge ruled that the prosecution failed to disclose critical ammunition evidence, impacting the fairness of the trial.
  • Baldwin was charged in the 2021 fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the 'Rust' movie set.
  • The dismissal means Baldwin cannot be retried for the same charges.
  • The ruling has led to calls for the release of 'Rust' armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who was previously convicted.
