Alec Baldwin urges judge to stand by Rust involuntary manslaughter dismissal
Alec Baldwin urged a New Mexico judge on Friday to stand by her decision to scuttle his trial and dismiss an involuntary manslaughter charge against the actor in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of a Western movie.
State district court judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the case against Baldwin halfway through a trial in July based on the withholding of evidence by police and prosecutors from the defence in the 2021 shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film Rust.
