Misconduct Leads to Dismissal of Alec Baldwin’s Case, Actor Displays Emotion
Court TV
It’s a stunning turn … Alec Baldwin‘s manslaughter trial has come to an abrupt end as the judge dismissed the ‘Rust’ case after finding law enforcement had concealed evidence that prevented the actor from preparing his defense.
Baldwin broke down in tears, as did his wife, Hilaria, as it became apparent the judge was dismissing the case. Baldwin faced up to 18 months in prison if convicted in the death of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, so the turn of events is incredibly dramatic.
Baldwin’s attorney, Alex Spiro, claimed authorities intentionally concealed evidence of live ammo on the set.
