The prosecutor in New Mexico messed up royally. Which led to the shocking events yesterday afternoon. Judge Sommer abruptly dismissed the Alec Baldwin case WITH PREJUDICE.
Alec Baldwin’s involuntary manslaughter case was abruptly thrown out in a stunning development Friday — as a New Mexico judge slammed prosecutors for withholding critical evidence from the defense.
Baldwin, 66, sobbed in Santa Fe court as the charges — stemming from the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of “Rust” — were suddenly tossed.
The dad of eight hugged his wife Hilaria Baldwin, who was also crying, before climbing into an SUV without speaking to the media.
The entire debacle surrounding the RUST movie and the tragedy of the shooting has been one that speaks to the utter carelessness of every single person involved. And yes, that includes Alec Baldwin.
However, to find out that the prosecution was likely playing games and withholding evidence from the defense? You … DON’T DO THAT.
