TAOS — New Mexico special prosecutors on Friday dropped charges against actor Alec Baldwin in the 2021 shooting death of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna…
The move followed new evidence about the gun Baldwin was holding when it fired the bullet that killed Hutchins during the movie’s filming in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a person close to state prosecutors said.
“The case is dismissed without prejudice and the investigation is active and ongoing,” prosecutors Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis said in a filing. The dismissal of the same charge against Baldwin came after his attorney last week presented evidence that the reproduction Colt .45 used by Baldwin had been modified with new parts since its manufacture by Italian gunmaker F.LLI Pietta.
Special prosecutors said they might refile charges against Baldwin once new evidence was examined, though legal experts doubted it.
