Prosecutor Seeks to Revive Alec Baldwin's 'Rust' Manslaughter Case

Judge dismissed charges mid-trial citing withheld evidence; new motion challenges ruling's validity.

  • Special prosecutor Kari Morrissey argues evidence suppression did not violate Baldwin's due process rights.
  • Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the case with prejudice, preventing refiling after appeals.
  • Baldwin's defense claims the prosecution buried crucial evidence related to live ammunition on set.
  • Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, 'Rust' armorer, also seeks to overturn her involuntary manslaughter conviction.
  • Gutierrez-Reed reaches plea deal for separate gun charge, agreeing to 18 months probation.
