A New Mexico judge Friday tossed 'Rust' shooting case against Alec Baldwin after ruling that prosecutors withheld evidence they were required to hand over to the defense related to live ammunition.
SANTE FE, N.M. - A Santa Fe judge Friday dismissed the involuntary manslaughter case against Alec Baldwin for the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film 'Rust' after ruling that the prosecution concealed evidence from his legal team. The third full day of the trial in the First Judicial District Court opened with defense attorney Luke Nikas accusing the state of withholding evidence that prop distributor Seth Kenney was the source of the live ammunition.
Defense attorneys appeared to have learned about the ammunition Teske turned over from body camera footage that captured Teske walking into the sheriff's office and telling Poppell that he had critical evidence and offered to give a statement.
