Move comes after new evidence emerges about the gun Baldwin was holding when it fired the bullet that killed Rust cinematographer
New Mexico special prosecutors dropped charges against actor Alec Baldwin in the shooting death of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on Friday, marking what legal experts said was a logical conclusion to a flawed prosecution.
The information further undermined the prosecution’s case after a series of legal fumbles, pushing them to dismiss charges ahead of a May 3 hearing where a judge was to decide whether there was sufficient evidence to try Baldwin and “Rust” armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed. A court official said a 2:30 p.m. court hearing would address the remaining charge against Gutierrez-Reed, who said she loaded the live bullet into the gun mistaking it for a dummy round
The information compromised the prosecution’s argument the gun was in fully functioning order and could only have fired if Baldwin recklessly pulled the trigger, according to the person familiar with the case.
