- The involuntary manslaughter case against Alec Baldwin for the "Rust" on-set shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins collapsed Friday when a New Mexico judge dismissed the case with prejudice.
The stunning announcement came hours after Baldwin's defense attorney, Alex Spiro, argued that prosecutors hid critical evidence from them that may have been crucial in the case. Baldwin was facing 18 months in prison if he had been convicted.

What do YOU think?
The case was problematic from the beginning. They never found out how the live ammo got onto the set in the 1st place. Then they went ahead & criminally prosecuted the armorer. Sure, she was negligent with her lax standards on the job. But how do we know someone didn’t frame her (& Baldwin) by purposely placing a live bullet into the gun in question, then telling Alec Baldwin it was a safe gun. This is possible. The investigators & prosecutor weren’t thorough in their duties. They didn’t uncover everything they needed to in order to serve justice. From what we do know, at best, Alec Baldwin was liable in civil case, not a criminal one.
Good to see that our justice system is still functioning and still has morals.
It was a miscarriage of justice that he was even tried for this.
I agree!!
This case bears a striking resemblance to the Karen Read case, in which the evidence presented was insufficient to secure a conviction.
It appears that a trend of concealing criminal activity is rising.
@@audience7264Why would anyone frame her or Baldwin? That sounds like a plot from a detective tv show.
The whole thing was terrible accident
Good for Alec, he was on a set full of paid professionals
I don't think $ was The ISSUE HERE BUT JUST A SAD ACCIDENT
Nobody messes with Jack Donaghy.
I just do not understand how in the world live bullets were on set at all!
Because they were target shooting when off the clock. They should have never had live rounds there.
When are they going to prosecute Seth Kinney.
Congratulations Alec.
This was a total debacle.
Imagine what he had to deal with. Nonsense prosecutor
Awesome!
The state withheld evidence. The decision was definitely the correct decision.
I would suggest that the FBI probe this further. If ammunition was brought to this set on purpose, those people should be prosecuted?
I don't think 💬 the family members of victim should hold anything against ALEC BALDWIN WHEN IT WAS AN ACCIDENT ON THE SET WITH NO EVIL INTENTIONS WITH ALL INVOLVED
Who plays with guns pointing it at people an idiot hold him responsible oh but he is rich oh sorry never mind
This is the best explanation I've heard as to why the bullets might have exonerated Baldwin, if turned over to the defense. Been totally confused on that time now.
I have to admit that Hilaria behaved very well in court and she was genuinely relieved by the dismissal.
I think Hannah Gutierrez-Reed conviction will be overturned too after this
They use live rounds not for firing but for camera shots. The front camera shots the live rounds are used for camera shots you can see the lead bullet in the revolver. After the camera shots the live rounds must be removed from the revolver and stored in a secure location so the will not be put in the revolver when shots are being fired. Only banks are fired on a movie set. Someone messed up by leaving the live rounds on the movie set after the camera shots were finished.
Yeah, but leftists want to create new story against right wing Baldwin
Like the guy was the director and was totally responsible for actions on the set. Watt a yoke.
Was an accident
Baldwin wasn’t the director, Joel Souza was. And neither an actor nor the director is not responsible for on-set gun safety. That’s the armorer’s job.
Why wouldn’t he show up? His, I presume very expensive, lawyers would have told him that it’s not a good look if he didn’t show up
I can’t believe these armory make a lot of money and they can’t get it right give me half the pay I’ll do a better job
All depends on who you hire. She wasn't very experienced. He was the one that didn't follow firearm safety rules.
If you ever perform in a movie you better check the weapon that will be pointed at you
Alec’s best movie yet since Miami blues
Everyone who defames his names is gonna get sues.. guarantee
Girls getting it done. 😂😂😂😂
Watt a yoke.
I am sure you referring to your spelling.....
Well New Mexico will be sued and now called New Baldwin
🤮🤮🤮
The fix was in he was guilty and still as he admitted pulling the trigger on the video he released and if he had of checked the weapon like he was supposed to do none of this ever would have happened.
Simple minds come to simple conclusions.....
He’s an actor. His job is to act. It’s not his job to check weapons. That’s the armorer’s job.
@@AvarrenThat was my initial thoughts too but something someone said on CourtTV did make me think a little more,that person said what if they were about to film a suicide scene would you as the actor check that gun thoroughly yourself and I agree the answer to that is yes?
@@tonycoe5907to “ check the gun “ assumes that an actor has some knowledge and experience with firearms. Most do not. That’s why experts are hired to do this. Does Tom Cruise check every vehicle and motorcycle for mechanical safety before his stunts ? Of course not. He’s not a mechanic.
@@lucabrasi5070 and in answer to your question I bet Tom Cruise asks loads of questions prior to doing the stunts so as to confident everything possible is done for his personal safety.
No justice for Halyna Hutchins because of prosecutorial misconduct.
Lesbian misconduct
She got justice when Gutierrez-Reed was put in jail. This never had anything to do with Baldwin
@@steelguitarunionhallyes. The person at fault was found guilty. Nothing will bring her back. Now to make some regulations to ensure it never happens again.
@@lucabrasi5070 There are already regulations. Didn't stop Brandon Lee from being killed, or the people killed in the helicopter accident on the Twilight Zone movie . And they won't stop the next one. That is why they are called accidents and negligence.
@@steelguitarunionhallJason was killed by a squib round that wasn’t cleared from the barrel. What I mean is new regulations prohibiting firearms capable of firing any round. As in no firing pins or disabled in some way to make a mistake in ammo or cleared wads a non issue.
Why he shoots her in the first place even if he thought it was fake bullet in what's going on. He is a criminal. He killed the mother and the lady. She just lost her life for nothing. I don't trust him. He look evil. He should have went to jail. This is unjustice the criminal outside and the innocent in a jail
They were blocking a scene and following directions.
@@thefairhairedboywiththered2951exactly
Huge money paid out .NIce to have money right?
I want money.
It means you get a fair trial
Sad accident I think the girl should be released also
Mr Baldwin sobs in court - he can be a firearms safety instructor after all.
Why would he want to do that? He wasn't shooting a firearm. He was acting with a prop.
Thank God they dismissed it
Fake movie RealMurder💀🤺
😂😂😂😂
Money, Money, Money
If the prosecutor withholds evidence, there is no justice.
If you point a firearm at something/someone, you intend to destroy it/them. I bet he's never paid so much to so many to get away with this. Her poor family.
Never seen a gun being pointed on TV? The Movies? Wild West show? Pfft and double pfft.
@@jamesrowden303Gun safety rules in place for the screen actors guild state to always check the gun and never point a REAL GUN at someone.
@@dubyredburndarling6334 Never point a real gun at someone...you are making stuff up now, links please. I have found a link where it says "Refrain from pointing a firearm at anyone, including yourself." but that is absolutely NOT what you said :P *edit* www.csatf.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/01FIREARMS.pdf
You’ve never watched an action movie, I gather
@@dubyredburndarling6334If that were true you wouldn’t be able to use a real gun in movies. You can’t make it look real by not pointing it at people. The other rule you state says “always check the gun.” That doesn’t mean the actor. That is the job of the armorer.
Judge always dose the best not to dismiss a case and all of a sudden it’s that easy to dismiss? Once again “Justice prevails”
The state blew it big time. He got off on a technicality. He shot this poor young mother and wife and all he can do is cry for himself.
They literally concealed evidence that would have blown a hole in their entire case and almost certainly will exonerate the young woman already in prison.
It wasn’t a crime though. It’s not that complicated.
At the end when the defense left the courtroom..... there was gloria aldred commiserating with the karen prosecutor. She gave Alec complex trauma sue her.
Money and privilege. In a fair world he’d be in jail
In a fair world the sheriff and his deputies would be in jail...
Theory,MAGA did this, got real ammo in somehow , they hated Baldwin for how he beautifully portrayed Trump in SNL
Really !!!
I think 💬 the JUDGE GOT IT RIGHT TO DISMISS AND THROW OUT MANSLAUGHTER CHARGES AGAINST ALEC BALDWIN. THE PUBLIC MISSES ALEC BALDWIN IN HIS ACTING ROLES. HIS SNL SKIT WAS GREAT AND CAME BACK TO FLY THE PLANE WITH PILOT AFTER HUDSON INCIDENT
That prosecutor (is she Russian or WHAT !??) should be in PRISON soon !!!!!!!!!!!!! .... my view of the ridicule behavior of that woman !@ charging Alec B. in the first place !
Why in the world would you think Kari Morrissey is Russian?
Baldwin flat out BELONGS IN PRISON
No, YOU should. Maga Supporter.
Go and buy yourself a soapbox...and keep taking the red pills your doctor advised you to take daily...
No, he shouldn’t. Trump should, however.
