Alec Baldwin has reacted to the involuntary manslaughter trial against him being dismissed on Friday, July 12
Alec Baldwin released an official response after his involuntary manslaughter trial was dismissed.
A New Mexico judge ruled on Friday, July 12, to dismiss the charges against the actor following the fatal 2021 shooting on set of his movie Rust. First Judicial District judge Mary Marlowe Sommer ruled that prosecutors hid evidence that could have been linked to the incident, concurring with Baldwin’s attorneys.
Baldwin stood trial beginning earlier this week on two counts of involuntary manslaughter after Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins died on set. In October 2021, Baldwin held a prop gun that fired a single round that killed 42-year-old Hutchins and injured film director Joel Souza. According to Baldwin, the accident was the “worst thing” that’s ever happened to him as he denied that he was aware the firearm had a bullet lodged inside.Prosecutors charged Baldwin and Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed with two counts each of involuntary manslaughter in January 2023. Gutierrez-Reed was sentenced in April to 18 months in prison. Baldwin, for his part, pleaded not guilty to the charges ahead of his trial earlier this month.
