Alec Baldwin expressed gratitude towards his supporters after his involuntary manslaughter trial was abruptly ended due to the dismissal of the case by Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The trial ended three days in when evidence related to the killing of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was mishandled and deemed unimportant by prosecutors, leading to a lack of fundamental fairness. Baldwin, emotional over the outcome, faced the possibility of 18 months in prison if convicted. The judge's ruling included a prohibition on refiling the case, and Baldwin's supporters have shown unwavering kindness towards him during this challenging time.
