Prosecutor Sets Record Straight

In the aftermath of the stunning dismissal of all charges in the Alec Baldwin trial in New Mexico, Special Prosecutor Erlinda Ocampo Johnson sets the record straight of what really transpired on Day 3 of the case.

Johnson shockingly resigned from the case midway through the third day of the trial after she learned that crucial evidence was withheld from the defense in their preparation for the case.

Appearing on an exclusive interview on News Nation, with host Chris Cuomo, shortly after the dismissal of the case, Johnson says she wholeheartedly believed Baldwin was guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins based on the evidence that the prosecution had. Johnson said she was never told about the bombshell evidence that was withheld from the defense. Here’s more.

Baldwin Charges Dismissed

Following a stunning mid-trial revelation, Fox News chief correspondent Jonathan Hunt reports that District Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed involuntary manslaughter charges against Alec Baldwin in the shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during the filming of the movie Rust just south of Santa Fe, N.M., in 2021.

Sommer dismissed the charges with prejudice, after defense attorneys filed a motion to dismiss, alleging the prosecution never revealed key evidence in the trial that could of aided his case. Hunt says the evidence in question was a box of ammunition the defense claimed was connected to the movie set.

Lead prosecutor Kari Morrissey later took the stand to testify that the box of bullets was not relevant to the case, but failed to convince Judge Sommer. Here’s more from Fox News.

Actor Mark Pellegrino joins the Tim Pool podcast to discuss the Baldwin case and share his thoughts on gun rules on movie sets.

Judge Denies Baldwin Motion

The trial of Alec Baldwin on a charge of involuntary manslaughter in the 2021 shooting death of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins will go forward after New Mexico District Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer denied the actor’s request to dismiss the case.

The ruling comes a week after a heated court hearing in which Baldwin’s attorneys argued that special prosecutors failed to present evidence to the grand jury that was favorable to the actor. Here’s more from NBC News.

Who’s The Crackhead Now?

Watch as Alec Baldwin loses his cool and assaults a woman goading him and demanding he denounce Israel and say “Free Palestine.” Baldwin ignores her worst insults, but eventually, he can’t resist. He moves in and slaps her as he tried to snag away her phone.

The woman has a YouTube channel called “Crackhead Barney and Friends.” So, no, she’s hardly reputable. Just another low-life, leftist scumbag.

But somehow, it’s fair to see her get up in Baldwin’s face. This is the asshole that should have been in jail after he shot the cinematographer on his film set in New Mexico. Turnaround is fair play, don’t you think? Here’s more from The Salty Cracker.

‘Rust’ Armorer Convicted!

A Santa Fe, N.M., jury has convicted Hannah Gutierrez-Reed of involuntary manslaughter in the on-set death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in 2021.

Gutierrez-Reed was the low-budget western film’s armorer and responsible for firearm safety. The film’s star and producer, Alec Baldwin, was rehearsing with a revolver on set, when it accidentally discharged. He claimed he never pulled the trigger. Hutchins died on the scene and director Joel Souza was wounded.

Gutierrez-Reed, whose attorneys will appeal the verdict,  faces up to a year and one-half in prison. More from KTLA News in Los Angeles, courtesy of 216.

Baldwin Indicted In ‘Rust’ Case

A Santa Fe, N.M., grand jury has indicted Alec Baldwin on a new involuntary manslaughter charge in connection with the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film Rust in 2021.

Baldwin was previously charged with involuntary manslaughter in January 2023, but the charge was dropped with prejudice. Hutchins died from a gunshot discharged by Baldwin at the Bonanza Creek  Ranch film set, southeast of Santa Fe. Director Joel Souza was wounded in the incident.

Baldwin faces up to 18 months in prison if convicted. More from The Quartering.

 

(Editor’s note: Meanwhile, in a related story reported by Variety, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the armorer on the set of Rust who is awaiting trial on charges of involuntary manslaughter and tampering with evidence, was offered leniency by the prosecutor if she would offer more details on how live rounds made it onto the set.

Special prosecutor Kari Morrissey said Gutierrez Reed’s cooperation would go a long way in helping her get a favorable resolution in the case, however, she added, there would be consequences if she refused.

Baldwin Could Still Be Charged

Fox News reports that manslaughter charges are back on the table for Alec Baldwin in the fatal shooting on the set of the Rust film last year, south of Santa, Fe, N.M.

Martha MacCallum reports that a new expert forensic analysis determined the trigger had to be pulled for the prop Colt 45 revolver to be discharged. Prosecutors dropped involuntary manslaughter charges against Baldwin in April, citing the need for more investigation and forensic analysis.  Baldwin has adamantly denied pulling the trigger in the incident that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Martha MacCallum is joined by weapons safety expert Steve Wolfe to dissect the new report.

‘Rust’ Gun Was Modified

CBS News reports that the criminal charges against Alec Baldwin in the Rust shooting were dropped because new evidence revealed the gun had been modified and prosecutors felt they could not prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.

Correspondent Dick Brenan said the firearm was modified and sent to the set without Baldwin’s knowledge in a way that would have made it less safe to handle. He added that the disclosure also undermined the prosecution’s contention that the gun could be fired without Baldwin pulling the trigger. Here’s more.

Alec Baldwin Walks Away

Manslaughter charges have been dropped against actor Alec Baldwin in the death of his cinematographer on the movie set of Rust.

Baldwin, 65, was charged with involuntary manslaughter over the Oct. 21, 2021 shooting of 42-year-old cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the New Mexico set of the Western movie. The death occurred after a prop pistol Baldwin was using for a scene unexpectedly fired a real bullet.

Filming for the movie is due to resume in Montana this week. Here’s more from ABC News.

Baldwin Gets Trump Treatment

H.A. Goodman suggests that Alec Baldwin is getting the Donald J. Trump treatment! Apparently, there’s a Republican prosecutor in charge of the New Mexico fatal shooting case on the set of the film Rust, whom the Baldwin legal team desperately wants to disqualify.

“Where have we seen that before,” Goodman says. “Every Democrat in the known universe has tried to prosecute Trump.” Goodman says Baldwin will almost certainly face prison time, because he accidently ended someone’s life and was categorically irresponsible and negligent in his actions.
