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.

DA Charges Alec Baldwin!

Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Alwies has charged Alec Baldwin and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed with two counts each of involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film Rust. Assistant director David Halls agreed to plea to negligent use of a deadly weapon.

ABC News’ Dan Abrams reports that the maximum sentence for involuntary manslaughter in New Mexico is 18 months, although the DA’s office added firearm enhancement to one of the charges, which would extend the sentence by a mandatory five years. The DA’s office said, “The evidence clearly shows a pattern of criminal disregard for safety on the Rust film set. In New Mexico, there’s no room for film sets that don’t take our commitment to gun safety and public safety seriously.” Here’s more from ABC News.

The legal team from the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), featuring former President Trump counsel Jay Sekulow, brings more in-depth analysis of the charges.

New Evidence In Rust Shooting

New Mexico authorities released a trove of new evidence, including hours of body-cam footage from the moments after the fatal shooting of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Investigators also collected emails from crew members sent before the shooting, raising safety concerns. More from NBC News.

 

In a related development, Santa County Sheriff Adan Mendoza told NBC “Today” that no one is off the hook when it comes to criminal charges in the murder of Hutchins. “One of the key things we are waiting for is the forensics on the firearm and the munitions, and the leg print and DNA analysis from the FBI crime lab,” he said.
