The judge in Alec Baldwin's "Rust" fatal shooting case has dismissed his involuntary manslaughter charge in the 2021 death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer on Friday afternoon dismissed the charge with prejudice, meaning prosecutors cannot refile the same claim. Baldwin cried as the judge read out her order, with wife Hilaria Baldwin, sister Elizabeth Keuchler and brother Stephen Baldwin leaning forward in their seats behind him.
The judge's order came during a motion hearing on the third day of the "30 Rock" actor's trial, after she dismissed the jury in an unusual move due to Baldwin's attorneys filing a motion to dismiss Thursday evening.
Baldwin's lawyers alleged in their filing that Santa Fe sheriffs and state prosecutors "concealed from Baldwin" evidence of the source of the bullet that killed Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza.
