Alec Baldwin's manslaughter case in connection to the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film 'Rust' was dismissed after the judge found the state had improperly withheld evidence, allowing Baldwin to avoid a potential prison sentence. The judge cited intentional and deliberate withholding of information by the state, leading to the dismissal. Baldwin's legal team alleged that crucial evidence regarding the origin of the live ammunition was buried by the state, ultimately influencing the case's outcome. This decision has sparked discussions about the fairness of the legal process, with calls for a review of the conviction of Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer on the film set, who was previously sentenced to 18 months in prison for involuntary manslaughter. The father of Gutierrez-Reed, Thell Reed, has emphasized the need for a reevaluation of his daughter's case, suggesting she was unfairly targeted and should also have her conviction overturned.
