Alec Baldwin Trial on Hold as Judge Considers Motion to Dismiss

Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer sent the jury home for the day and told them to return Monday after a hearing on the issue raised more questions and prompted her to call for further testimony outside the presence of jurors.

The defense argued that prosecutors hid evidence from them about the ammunition that may be related to the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film "Rust" in 2021.

"We don't know if it's a live ammunition match or not," Baldwin's attorney Luke Nikas told the judge. "But we do know that the state had it, and it's disclosable."

The prosecution has said that the ammunition was not connected to the case and was not hidden.
