Alec Baldwin's brother says 'Rust' trial was manipulation of legal system
Fox News
Alec Baldwin's brother, Stephen, shared the surreal experience of sitting in the courtroom for Alec's "Rust" trial as the case was dismissed.
"I was just blessed that I was able to take the time and be there and support him and be in the room."
Alec was charged with manslaughter in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film "Rust" in 2021. After nearly three years in and out of court, in July Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning the charge cannot be brought against the actor again.
"The state's willful withholding of this information was intentional and deliberate," Sommer said. "If this conduct does not rise to the level of bad faith, it certainly comes so near to bad faith as to show signs of scorching prejudice."
