Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter case due to prosecution misconduct and evidence withholding.
Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter case, citing "willful and deliberate misconduct" by the New Mexico prosecution, which withheld key evidence and provided inconsistent testimony. The disputed evidence involved a batch of live ammunition that was not inventoried in the "Rust" case. The judge ruled that Baldwin cannot be charged with involuntary manslaughter for the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins due to the prosecution's egregious discovery violations and false testimony.
