Alex Baldwin charges dismissed as Rust trial falls apart

Alec Baldwin broke down in tears as the involuntary manslaughter case against him unravelled in extraordinary fashion and the judge dismissed the felony charge after serious failures on behalf of the prosecution.
Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer said that she had no choice but to dismiss the case after prosecutors failed to disclose evidence that may have helped the defence.
The actor left the building and declined to speak to the waiting press before climbing into an SUV, turning his back on a case that has marred his reputation for more than two years since the death of the cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film Rust.

​@l0wrid3r88 LOL. You should learn how to read people. It's very useful. Prayers

Awww. Well I always thought he should not be culpable. It was the armourer I blamed from day one and I’m glad my moral compass was checked and shows it’s still pointed in the right direction. How many hands did that weapon pass through before he was given a live weapon. I mean aside from the tragedy he’s lived with this on his shoulders since day one. You just seen all that weight just fall away from his shoulders.

I wonder ,what is the going price to rigg a trial ? Now ?

[@helenpauls1496]

Well, the prosecution held key evidence, so a large amount was obviously offered to her. Excellent decision. He is not guilty.

[@DawnSummersett-k7d]

Ridiculous 😮 he should have checked the gun ..

[@FattyOn2Wheels]

Not his job to check the gun thats why you have a trained armorer on set.

[@tm850r]
