Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter trial has been paused as Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer evaluates a defense motion to dismiss the case due to disputed ammunition evidence and alleged disclosure violations by the prosecution. The defense contends that crucial bullets related to the Rust shooting were not shared, leading to a call for the case's dismissal. This unexpected development caused the jury to be sent home, with the judge expressing frustration over the situation. The trial's complexities include questions about the ammunition source, the actions of the film's firearms supplier, and potential implications for Baldwin and others involved in the incident. The legal proceedings are set to continue as the defense and prosecution navigate the challenges surrounding evidence disclosure and the handling of the case.
