Judge dismisses involuntary manslaughter case against Alec Baldwin

SANTA FE, N.M. —

Santa Fe district court judge Mary Marlowe Sommer has dismissed the involuntary manslaughter case against Alec Baldwin in relation to the "Rust" movie shooting.

The dismissal comes after very heated testimony regarding evidence that was collected by the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office after the trial of Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.

The evidence in question was ammunition that was turned into the sheriff’s office by a person who says the ammo was linked to the shooting. A crime scene technician testified about that ammunition on Thursday.

In a motion to dismiss filed late Thursday night, defense lawyers for Baldwin allege prosecutors knew of evidence that the live round came from PDQ Arms and Props owner Seth Kenney.

I hope Baldwin learned no gun can be considered unloaded and to point it away from people if he wants to test a blank. This could have gone either way, sunce Baldwin fired the fatal shot after people on the set yelled that the gun held blanks.

I hope they finish the movie, though, "Rust" sounds like it had a good plot.
