A New Mexico judge dismissed the involuntary manslaughter case against Alec Baldwin due to the prosecution and police withholding key evidence favorable to Baldwin's defense. The evidence in question involved live rounds potentially linked to the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the 'Rust' film set, which was not disclosed to Baldwin's lawyers. Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer cited this misconduct as highly prejudicial and tantamount to bad faith. Baldwin, who could have faced up to 18 months in prison, broke down in tears upon hearing the decision. The case cannot be refiled. Prosecutors claimed Baldwin had acted recklessly on set, while Baldwin's defense argued he had no responsibility to check the weapon's contents.
