In a stunning turn, judge throws out case against Alec Baldwin

NPR  

In a stunning turn, judge throws out case against Alec Baldwin toggle caption Ramsay de Give/AP Santa Fe Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer has dismissed actor Alec Baldwin’s case for involuntary manslaughter. Baldwin’s attorneys filed a last-minute motion to dismiss the case, arguing that they were not given a chance to examine what could be key evidence: a collection of ammunition that was turned in around the time the film’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was on trial for involuntary manslaughter. That ammunition got to the heart of Baldwin’s case, where much of the testimony circled around how live ammunition could have gotten onto the set of Rust. toggle caption Ramsay de Give/AP However, Baldwin’s legal team saw a cover-up: potential evidence that could have helped Baldwin’s case was never shared with them.
