The manslaughter trial against Alec Baldwin over the fatal shooting of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins has been dismissed. Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer threw out the case over how police and prosecutors treated a handful of bullets, which they failed to turn over to the defence.

“The state is highly culpable for its failure to provide discovery to the defendant,” Judge Sommer said. “Dismissal with prejudice is warranted.” The dismissal came as a surprise as gasps were said to be heard in the courtroom and Baldwin was congratulated by his family and supporters.

I'm sorry, there were other live rounds kicking about on the set? How many live rounds does one workplace require? I know how many that one did.

And the armorer is the one who owned the live ammunition. Makes sense she's in prison, but she was so young that I thought, if Alec Baldwin had any liability, it should probably be related to hiring someone who's barely a step past being a child as armorer on a set with real guns.
