A judge denied a request to dismiss the involuntary manslaughter case against Alec Baldwin on complaints that key evidence was damaged by the FBI during forensic testing.
Alec Baldwin emcees the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Ripple of Hope Award Gala at New York Hilton Midtown on Dec. 9, 2021, in New York.
The FBI conducted an accidental discharge test on the gun by striking it from several angles with a rawhide mallet, eventually breaking the gun. Prosecutors plan to present evidence at trial that they say shows the firearm “could not have fired absent a pull of the trigger” and was working properly before the shooting.Baldwin has twice been charged in Hutchins’ death.
While Baldwin “contends that an unaltered firearm is critical to his case, other evidence concerning the functionality of the firearm on Oct. 21, 2021, weighs against the defendant’s assertions,” the judge wrote. Defense attorneys say that the “outrageous” decision to move forward with testing may have destroyed exculpatory evidence.
