After almost three years, actor Alec Baldwin, 66, had his trial dismissed. The trial included a terrible incident that occurred on the Rust set in October 2021, in which the director Joel Souza was injured and cameraman Halyna Hutchins was killed when a gun he was holding accidentally discharged. After Baldwin's attorneys contended that they were not provided with important evidence, namely ammunition discovered by Troy Teske (a friend of the armorer's father in the movie), the case was dismissed.
Alec and Hilaria Baldwin were relieved after the trial dismissa
Alec and his wife Hilaria were relieved by the decision, a source told PEOPLE. When they heard the news in court, they gave each other hugs. The couple was thankful to finally be able to spend the summer with their children, the insider continued, despite the extremely depressing circumstances.
The charges were dropped during the third day of the New Mexico trial. Luke Nikas, Alec's attorney, alleged that the prosecution breached the Brady rule, which requires them to share key evidence with the defense. Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer agreed that the late revelation of this information impacted the trial's fairness.
On July 13, Alec took to Instagram to thank everyone for their support. Later, on July 20, Alec and Hilaria attended their first red carpet event since the trial, a screening of War Game at the Hamptons International Film Festival's SummerDocs program. Alec was spotted waving and smiling at the fans.
