In a stunning move Friday, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the involuntary manslaughter charge against actor Alec Baldwin in the 2021 death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the Western film “Rust.” Baldwin’s attorney had filed a motion to dismiss the case, arguing misconduct by state investigators in not properly disclosing evidence in the case. The judge agreed the state improperly disclosed evidence to the defense and dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning it cannot be brought again. “There is no way for the court to right this wrong,” she said.
