Alec Baldwin has been in and out of the spotlight over the past few years for tragic reasons, following the shooting on the set of his film Rust that resulted in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in New Mexico in 2021. After some back and forth over involuntary manslaughter charges going back to early 2023, the case has officially been dismissed due to what the judge deemed a “failure” with evidence.

The manslaughter case was dismissed on July 12 after Alec Baldwin’s defense attorneys argued that key bits of evidence – bullets that had been given to investigators all the way back in March – had been hidden by the prosecution. According to Variety, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer in Santa Fe, New Mexico sent the jury home on Friday morning despite the previous expectation that they’d hear testimony, then ultimately decided that the case should be dismissed. She said:

The state is highly culpable for its failure to provide discovery to the defendant. Dismissal with prejudice is warranted.
