‘Rust’ Case Against Alec Baldwin Is Dismissed Over Withheld Evidence

SANTA FE — The involuntary manslaughter case against “Rust” star Alec Baldwin was dismissed by a judge Friday after the actor’s defense attorneys raised new questions over how New Mexico law enforcement officers and prosecutors handled evidence.

The decision ends a nearly three-year-long ordeal for the “30 Rock” and “Hunt for Red October” star, which began in October 2021 when he accidentally shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins with a prop revolver during a rehearsal for the low-budget western.
