Alec Baldwin‘s manslaughter case has been dismissed, after the judge blasted prosecutors for failing to turn over a batch of bullets to the defense.
Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer threw out the case, ruling that no other sanction was sufficient.
“The state is highly culpable for its failure to provide discovery to the defendant,” Marlowe Sommer said. “Dismissal with prejudice is warranted.”
The defense argued that prosecutors deliberately hid bullets that were turned over to investigators in March, and which are relevant to the case.
