The Santa Fe district attorney’s office has announced the withdrawal of an appeal against dismissing an involuntary manslaughter charge against Alec Baldwin in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The decision solidifies a July judge's ruling to dismiss the case based on allegations of withheld evidence. The case was further complicated by the revelation of ammunition potentially linked to the shooting brought to the Santa Fe County sheriff’s office, which prosecutors deemed unrelated.
to dismiss an involuntary manslaughter charge against Alec Baldwin in the fatal shooting on a cinematographer on the set of a Western movie, the Santa Fe district attorney’s office announced Monday.
Special Prosecutor Kari Morrissey withdrew the appeal of a July decision at trial to dismiss the charge against Baldwin in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during a rehearsal on a movie set outside Santa Fe in October 2021.The decision to drop the appeal solidifies the decision by Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer halfway through trial to dismiss the case on allegations that police and prosecutors withheld evidence from the defense.
The district attorney's office said the New Mexico attorney general would have carried forward the appeal but"did not intend to exhaustively pursue the appeal on behalf of the prosecution." “As a result, the State’s efforts to continue to litigate the case in a fair and comprehensive manner have been met with multiple barriers that have compromised its ability to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law,” the statement from local prosecutors stated.
