Judge dismisses Alec Baldwin's Rust trial due to Brady violation involving undisclosed live bullets.

Judge dismisses Alec Baldwin's Rust trial "with prejudice" due to prosecution's withholding of evidence. A Brady violation occurred when prosecutors did not disclose live bullets that matched the ones found on the Rust set to defense attorneys. The dismissal means that Baldwin cannot be retried for involuntary manslaughter in connection with the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
