- Alec Baldwin's attorney in his involuntary manslaughter trial for the shooting death of Hannah Gutierrez-Reed on the set of the movie "Rust" is seeking to have the judge dismiss the case after prosecutors presented surprise evidence on Friday.
Judge Mary Sommer dismissed the jury early on Friday following a hearing outside the presence of the jury, which raised new questions and prompted additional testimony.

Case dismissed
@@user-rt9zq8rs9k It should be man…
Another OJ.
It was dismissed already
Case against Baldwin dismissed, with prejudice 🤬🤬🤬.
You certain… the state/govt. can’t retry? Seemed fishy from the start ruling Baldwin could only be considered an actor, jury not to consider his role as a producer with any role in assuring a safe work environment.
A lot of killers get off on a technicality.
This whole thing is a complete mess.
Case dismissed. Brady violations. Prosecutor messed up. Prosecutor took the stand as a witness! 😮
Keep up! I highly encourage everyone watch this trial.
Gotta LOVE the 6th Amendment
It was AWFUL. Worst judge ever, worst prosecution ever. A circus and an embarrassment to our judicial system.
So instead of letting a jury decide they help him out. Yup money talks
Typical NM incompetent, arrogant. Case dismissed
What was love ammo doing on the set? Poor gun handling.
Love ammo? Was KISS there with their Love guns?
@@hoponspot hate ammo maybe even racist thats the worst kind
Bruce and Brandon Lee both wondered the same thing. 😢
Mistrial
Dismissed, that’s it Baldwin is free
Deliberate non-disclosure of exculpatory evidence is grounds for dismissal, but how would these similar cartridges serve to exculpate Baldwin? That's the real question, and no, I don't know the answer. And were they "concealed" by the prosecution or police for a reason? Plainly the trial judge thinks that at a minimum they may be relevant, and she's walking point for We the People.
Agreed. They should have been disclosed, but I find it hard to see how they could be exculpatory.
It's dismissed
Paused? It’s dismissed
This report seems to be from earlier in the day, before they knew of the decision.
If the bullets weren't found at the scene, why would they be relevant?
This video is already out of date. The case was dismissed. This video served only to confuse the issue.
2024 is a helluva drug.
Sounds like “Twilight Zone “.
He's not responsible for the guns or live ammo. Let him go free !!
Wrong! It was completely dismissed with prejudice. It's over 😢😢😢😢
It was dismissed without prejudice
Wow! Unbelievable! It'll be dismissed. Idt there's any other way around it.
there is no way that alec baldwin is responsible for what happened. period. he did not bring the live rounds in, or load the live rounds.
He only pulled the trigger with locked in sights without checking the firearm That's all.
how do you know that?
@@davidjones-vx9ju Because someone was shot and killed. That's how I know he pulled the trigger and set sights on her.
I have a big post here that fully explains why he IS guilty of 'negligent homicide' but maybe not manslaughter which brings why did they charge him with what they did
@@user-lo9zz4fh1oand THATS negligent homicide, not manslaughter
Of course she’s not happy with the prosecution. They ran rough shod over Gutierrez-Reed when it was obvious that Kenney tried (successfully) to throw her under the bus when there’s a dang good chance he was responsible for the live ammo making it on the set. Popple allowed him to orchestrate the narrative and just like a typical state worker doesn’t like it when someone questions their job performance AND points out their various and sundry shortcomings and shoddy (if not nefarious)work.
In her case the ammo is viable evidence.
In Baldwins case it's about who pointed a deadly weapon and pulled the trigger.
I would like to hear how they think origin of the ammo absolves him of his negligence.
Gimme a break!!
“Proceedings began and then they ended. What happened?” Is this guy Perd Hapley?
Dismiss me off!😮
So he gets off on a technicality
The case gets tossed because the prosecutors did a bad job and someone was trying to hide evidence.
He would have never been convicted either way. Besides the ammunition issue, there are issues with the gun in question, having been destroyed by the FBI, and then the tests done by the DA prior to that, proving the gun could indeed be fired without pulling the trigger, because it had been modified.
This one didn't age well ... rather quickly!!
I wonder how many actual violent criminals in New Mexico have gotten off with a 'slap on the wrist' in the last 2 years because the cops and Prosecutors focused So much time, energy and resources on this One case instead?
From $37K to $45K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I thinks it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family.
Excuse me for real?,how is that
possible I have struggling
financially, how was that possible?
Thanks to Elizabeth Marie Hawley.
Though I started with as low as $15,000 actually because it was my first time and it was successful, She's is a great personality in the states
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Elizabeth Maria Hawley) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her 😊 from Brisbane Australia🇦🇺
I have heard a lot of wonderful things about Elizabeth Maria Hawley on the news but didn't believe it until now. I'm definitely trying her out
Yeah whatever. ALEC GETS OFF..NO JUSTICE THERE
Oops…
Far as I have read and heard in interviews.. When you're shooting in a movie you NEVER point a gun directly at actors or anyone off camera for safety, you point it so it LOOKS like you're pointing it at the target while not actually pointing it at anyone... While the prop master is responsible for live rounds, the actor is responsible for following basic standard safety guidelines on a movie set... It's literally part of their job..
ever see a real movie?
@@davidjones-vx9ju are you an idiot?
OK. If so then the failure of that actor hardly rises to criminal conduct. Its a civil wrong for which the insurance company has or will be paying a very large settlement given the girl has already been convicted and that is one of the covered risks. Baldwin can be a tool at times but this has been more a political prosecution than anything else. And by this I mean prosecutors are so often motivated by the limelight than truly doing justice.
@@stevefirst1512 i'm not saying his conduct was criminal... I am saying it was negligent...
So Helen Mirren should've check every round in the machine gun before filming the scene? What about grenade launchers? ruclips.net/video/iiMNb99KaYk/видео.html
Lucky, retire, stay out of movies. Go have another 8 kids! Too bad the woman is in jail. Guess his star power bought a dismissal.
Matthew Johnson! ✨️
But if he and his lawyer mislabeled payment checks, hed be getting prison time, right?
You make it sound like Trump and Cohen "accidently" tried to pass these off as a business expense.
They take care of their own! What do you think was going to happen!
All those demons are on borrowed time.
I hope so, so tired of injustice!
Who is “they”?
@thechumpsbeendumped.7797 The wealthy, the politicians, the actors, and anyone who THINKS they better or above anyone else! That's who they is!
Jesus christ is ruining the country if not the world
I’m confused
I'll try to explain. Alec Baldwin's team claims they didn't receive all the evidence from the crime scene before the trial ( they have a right to see it). The crime scene technician who collected the evidence turned it into the police with a case# for the case against the armorer (Hannah guiteriez) but didn't indicate it was also related to the Baldwin case. So when Baldwin's attorney went to the police for all the evidence, some of it wasn't provided. The crime scene tech tried to say the evidence wasn't related but then the judge herself went through it and found bullets that were involved.
@@HarmlessComment Great explanation! You must be in law. Hard to imagine this case being dismissed on a technicality.
DISMISS THE CASE ....?? I knew this was coming. Baldwin IS guilty of shooting that Cinematographer, plain and simple. That six shooter did NOT fire itself. The charges in this case need to be re-worded, but Baldwin still "pulled the trigger" ....
Correct judge.....but still dislike Baldwin
Who was holding the gun? Who should have checked the gun to make certain that it was properly loaded? Who pulled the trigger? Answer to all of these questions is the same: Alec Baldwin. Now a woman is dead because of his action. You decide his guilt.
Killer gets away with it
Alec Baldwin pulls the trigger on film. Says he never pulled the trigger......
Must have been somebody else ? 🤣
He will always be a murderer.
I watched the hearing... That's not entirely true and nothing was mishandled... Someone with a motive to mislead in the case came to the police station (more than 2 years after the shooting) and turned in some ammunition supposedly related to the case and that was documented but not put in with the evidence in the shooting cases. The "evidence" is logged and still with the police. The problem with the police/prosecution using or investigating as part of this case is the amount of time that has passed, chain of custody issues, and the questionable source. That doesn't mean the defense couldn't get access and investigate. They didn't do that because they know it won't matter for an acquittal so they are try to make some sort of inference that the handling of these rounds were improper and therefore not disclosed.
Sounds improper to me... Or at least something sounds funny ya know?
The whole thing is a clown show.
that's not accurate boyo
National enquirer has competition.
Baldwin is a smug creature. 😮
So, the rounds that were not disclose are not even confirmed to be from the set?? What the..? Unless they are from the set, they have nothing to do with the trial.
they are not the most common brass , but they are by no means rare. I like how they tried to get 3 year late evidence into the record. edit I just checked and they are a very common brass my dad has like 500 of them in his safe right now
If you watch the video, exactly the same type of bullets that were from the set "suddenly" appeared in a box a witness brought to the police and were filed under another case number. No disclosure to the defence about it, which is weird. They mess it up and try to cover up their mess
@@grbenway I wrote a response to your post but I guess YT found a naughty word and would let it be posted. Sheesh!
Going out on a limb here and say you don’t have any experience or education to determine what is or isn’t relative to the trial.
@@williamwilson6499 You hear that?
That's the sound of your limb giving way.
Just like a poor movie script, isn't it.
Seems like theyre looking fir any excusebthey can find to make sure He gets a get out of jail free card.
Exactly! EVERYTHING!!!!
Right or wrong, justified or unjustified -- you can't take a human life without accounting for it. Baldwin will account.
He was never gonna be held to account. He shot and killed a woman without consequence. I feel bad for the family that her life was worthless to the court.
We all knew the prosecution would mess it up ! So, now we have to wait for God's verdict
OJ 2.0
The prosecution knew this they got big bucks . Seen it coming.
The obligation to turn over exculpatory evidence is a broad one. Anything that could possibly tend to show the defendant may not be guilty is required to be turned over. No cop or prosecutor can make that call except at their peril and that it was put in an unrelated case file kinda reeks of intentional misconduct. The court has already determined Baldwin was an actor and not producer suggests even less responsibility for independently determining the rounds were not live. I think he skates on this and the young lady armorer simply made a grossly negligient mistake. Its a shame a life was lost but I'll bet the insurance carrier has already paid a substantial sum or will be soon.
This trial is absurd. Gun saffety is not the actor's responsibility. It's the armorer's. They're literally hired to take the responsibility off the actors. Some people are method actors, if they're playing someone ignorant of guns, they're suddenly supposed to break character to be a gun and ammo expert? This is insane. he did absolutely nothing wrong. The armorer did, and whoever tf brought live ammo onto a movie set. That is clearly negligent.
Seems like the prosecution did this on purpose in order to get a mistrial?
Okay, throw the case out WITH prejudice. Let all the evidence be made available to the defense.
Bottom line is if it's thrown out, we know it's based on a technicality.
Doesn't change the fact he lied about putting his finger on the trigger of a single action revolver that was in the fully cocked position.
I knew the prosecution would find a way to let him go.
He should be let go... I think the dude is an a$$, but this is crazy. The armorer should be held way more responsible
Judge can simply rule evidence inadmissible.
No… because the defense had a right to it.
All evidence has to be turned over to the defense, period. It doesn’t matter if it’s irrelevant or ruled inadmissible, defendants have a constitutional right to every single piece of evidence the prosecution has in their possession. Moreover, a judge can’t just rule something is inadmissible as a way to sweep the fact that the prosecution violated discovery law under the rug AND there has to be a motion to suppress evidence. Did either side do that here? Nope.
Of course he kills someone so they'll just dismiss due to technicality..
Everyone is entitled to a fair trial, procedures on both sides have to be followed. The prosecutors messed up which is a violation of the defendants rights. We still don't know what the Judge will decide.
"The judge is not happy with the prosecution." To those watching this case, it is somewhat obvious (at least to me) that the elder prosecutor is way out of her league.
Criminal Charges should be dropped against him... he's not the person responsible for this shooting, the armorer was.
HOWEVER
The family should bring Civil Charges against him... I can see him being responsible for the negligence on this set.
No, he's guilty of negligence in the handling of the gun which would be negligent homicide so it's strange that they charged whim with manslaughter which is debatable
Prosecution with held 2nd box of ammunition dropped off at Sheriff's office. Didn't disclose potential evidence???
The judge and prosecutor should be investigated. They just got paid
The cops are usually inept and then try to cover up their mistakes.
T
Brother Steve one row back.
Jail Baldwin
A court case having to do with the mishandling of ammunition finds live ammunition in the courtroom. The irony is surreal.
Imagine if everyone just told the truth.
The divorce rate would go up...
NEW MEXICO is a woke state ,no surprise if it is DISMISSED.
Someone got paid. Money talks.
Shut up
@@marvinhunt8276 Or, gosh, maybe an overly ambitious prosecutor went ahead with a dead case, and then withheld exculpatory evidence?
Dismiss!!
Is Alina Habba in charge of this prosecution?
No surprise. He's privileged. He will never be held accountable for murdering that poor girl.
He had final control of the firearm he is responsible for the negligent homicide.
You have no idea what the protocol is onset for actors and props.
@@Rawkstar1960 how does 'protocol' supersede the law? You have no idea about how to handle a firearm and what legal rights those working near a negligent Baldwin have.
@@Rawkstar1960 the protocol is the same for ALL FIREARMS. On a movie set there can be additional protocols but not fewer protocols.
I am shocked at the number of people who do not understand that simple fact when it comes to firearms.
@@scillyautomatic I try not to judge the entire population based on RUclips comments. I think as far as commenters go this is like everything else and relates to politics. Conservatives think he is guilty, and are correct in this case, but only follow the case because they are anti Hollywood.
Liberals want him to go free, and are wrong in this case, not based on facts but because they know conservatives are against him.
I think you are right about how many commenters are ignorant to basic firearm handling protocols, but for the sake of sanity I hope that this is not a representation of the true cross section of Americans because I've seen some vile and ignorant logic from both sides.... As per usual.
Alex Baldwin could have loaded the gun after he got it knowing that the armorer would be blamed for the shooting.
Alex!!!?
Your mother could have had an abortion, but didn't...and look where we are now.
He's rich and greased the pockets of the defense and prosecution. This was the puppet court plan all along. They just had to make the show look authentic
He is guilty he publicly admitted he pulled the trigger more then once and blamed the armor for it but he did and is also responsible to check the weapon and he did not.
Check the weapon?
What should he have checked for? The weapon was supposed to be loaded.
Him checking it, changes nothing.
@@mariatheresavonhabsburg For one thing he should have checked to make sure it was loaded properly which he clearly did not.
@@Nicklan1961
Loaded properly?
What's that supposed to mean?
He's an actor, not an armorer, he wouldn't even be able to check even if he wanted too.
@@mariatheresavonhabsburg He is legally responsible for the weapon in his hand not the armor who handed it to him otherwise it would be the armor up on charges and it's not because he's not responsible Which is why he is legally responsible to check the weapon which he clearly did not.
@@Nicklan1961
Except that's simply nonsense, from a legal standpoint and grammatically.
The armorer's job is to ensure safety around some props, that's literally their job.
The armorer has been charged and convicted.
The actor has had his trial dismissed.
He is guilty he admitted publicly more than once he pulled the trigger, he is also responsible to check the weapon and clearly never did that.
Except he was not responsible for checking the weapon.
That's not the job of any actor, that's the armorer's job.
@@mariatheresavonhabsburg All film sets have a armor on set who loads the weapons but the law still requires the one with the weapon in his hands to check the weapon and he clearly did not
Plus he admitted more than once publicly that he pulled the trigger.
@@Nicklan1961
Which law?
I'm entirely convinced you won't find any because it doesn't exist.
He was not required to do so, because it's literally not his job. He was not even qualified to check it, he wouldn't be able to tell the difference between real ammo and blanks, so it's not even within his competences but it'd be useless.
Him pulling the trigger on what was claimed to be a cold gun is not enough to warrant criminal charges, whether you like it or not.
@@mariatheresavonhabsburg This is involuntary manslaughter whether he did it on purpose or not
Leave it to him and all his money to get lawyers to get him off and avoid accountability on a technicality
Someone is going to get a starring role in one of his movies 😮
he should also be charged with lying about his "magic trigger" and take responsibility for what he did.
They can't prove he was lying. They can only prove he was incorrect. You can't try someone on perjury just because they said something which is provably false.
Sig Sauers have gone off without pulling the trigger. It is possible. Many people hold a gun by the trigger without pulling the trigger even tho they should put index finger on side of barrel.
@@Tipperary757 two completely different operating systems between semi auto Sig and revolvers. Revolvers do not just go off without pulling the trigger or holding in the trigger as you pull back and release the hammer…
Guilty
Prosecutor still can't get their 💩 together.
If the ammo is different and not from the set. What are they worried about. The prosecutor isn't using them in the trial so it irrelevant. But defense attorneys have to play the game and put doubt in the jury's minds.
Boss baby is really going through it
He killed a woman, put him in jail, any other person would be. So much wasted time and effort for something that is literally on camera.
you're a buffoon.. he didn't load the gun, and how could he have possibly knew there were live rounds in the weapon???
Judge Sommers isn't happy with the prosecutor but omg let's just sit there and not say 💩 when ALEC BALDWIN WALKS OUT DURING THE TRIAL to get a coffee. I wonder how much he'll pay her to avoid jail time? 🤫👀
Nothing. He'll pay nothing to her or you.
The armorer is responsible and she is going to serve 18 months in carpet lickers deluxe prison
So a prosecution foul up and Baldwin may walk even though He had final control of the firearm. Shame!
All by design
Happens all the time. Unfortunately, the clueless target police and continue to vote for incompetent prosecutors and judges
They literally legally can't do this. They literally have to hand over the evidence before trial
Kangaroo court corrupt judge. You gow again O.J. Simpson.
Watch today’s LIVE court. It’s enlightening and the judge did the only thing she could do.
Brady violations… hiding evidence from the defense….
It’s wild! 😮
Please watch. You won’t regret it.
He’ll walk.
So the murderer will go free.
alec baldwin is so woke...he should go to jail just for that alone
Make it a civil trial of we're gonna try him on the grounds of being an utter asshole. The Hutchins family should sue.
Shut up
DISMISS!!! DISMISS!!! DISMISS!!!
Dismiss the judge. She’s no good
Well..they already found their scapegoat and convicted her.. and the big money actor has big money so.. Im sure its all legit 🙄😄
The person who's job it was to clear the gun. Ok.
The judge will dismiss the case........wisest decision ever.
BUT Barwin is guilty of negligent homicide, manslaughter is questionable
@@bobjoatmon1993
Except he's not, the case was dismissed.
@@mariatheresavonhabsburg there's reality of what he did and then there's the law, sometimes, as in this case, they differ
@@bobjoatmon1993
Yeah, and the reality is that he was declared not guilty, because he was not responsible for the props being safe.
