Raw video: Criminal charges dropped against Alec Baldwin

Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the case with prejudice against actor Alec Baldwin based on the misconduct of police and prosecutors over the withholding of evidence from the defense in the shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film “Rust.”

"So basically, to cut a long story short, the state fucked up."

[Liberty]

The Prosecutor has an agenda, NOT everyone is a criminal and NOT everything is a crime

For two years I've never heard anything about the state having bullets in possession. They were all wondering where the live ammo came from to be on the set. Now when court starts for Baldwin the state comes up with a box of bullets. I'm glad this is over. I'm from nm and the whole state keeps hearing about this everyday on the news. I feel bad for the lady that lost her life though.

America's whole judicial system needs an enema. 💩

[VioletRose-fm]

It was all sloppy concerning evidence.
I think he was set up.
My opinion only to which I am entitled.

[honestnewsnet]

How much money is this judge going to get from Baldwin's charity?

[rlj]

So, since this judge held the state to a high standard, will there be an orchestrated attempt to remove her from the bench?

[crystalthomas]

Good. In my opinion. This was a peer setup anyway.🙏🏾

[thejuiced_]

How did the state do so poorly now, but rock solid during the last trial? 🤔

[josephbanet]

Good. I don't know why they went after him to begin with. The prosecution treated this case like he intentionally killed Helena, when he is just as much as victim as she is.

[lr]

Of course he got off!! Is anyone really surprised? What a bunch of actors!!! 😠

[Peggy-nz]

He still killed a young mother with a little boy

[michaelmchugh]

Guilty of manslaughter. What kind of justice is this for the woman he killed?

[anntelferskowron]

So happy you are free to go. Why would they think you did such a thing? So glad they saw sense at last. Big hug for you after what you've been through❤

Alec Baldwind should never have been charged in the first place. It was a tragic accident but an actor is not responsible for checking if a weapon he is given has life rounds or blanks. Even if Alec was given a weapon with live rounds, it was not his responsibility to check it. Think of any war movie or cop movie/show. The actors are given the weapon. The armorer is the person responsible for putting rounds in the weapon. Think of the movie Tombstone. A lot of gun firing in that movie. All the actors are given weapons to shoot point blank at each other. It’s not their job to check the weapons they were given. Again, that’s to job of the armorer.

He killed and wounded another, with no remorse lied about pulling the trigger, and now he is free. Disgusting and pathetic.

Case was dismissed WITHOUT PREJUDICE ! "The land of enchantment " is the moto of New Mexico . I lived in Albuquerque while I went to college . It was a wonderful place. I am not the least bit surprised that the cops and a DA's office in N.M. WAS EXPOSED in wrong doing .

[JamesBoren]

I KNEW something like this was going to happen. Shame ....

[coleyau]

Looks baldwin and his team arranged "the fix" with the DEMOCRATIC APPOINTED judge

[michaelnance]

He is rich if this would have happened to a none famous person they would be sent to prison for the rest of their life
I would also like to add that it is sickening him breaking down in tears just because he got away with it
