It's day three of Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter trial over the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the Western film Rust in 2021 - and jurors have been sent home while the judge considers a motion by his defence team saying the case should be dismissed.
Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter trial has been put on hold following a motion by his legal team to dismiss the case over a claim that ammunition evidence was hidden. On day three of Baldwin's trial, the actor's lawyers said the Santa Fe sheriff's office took possession of live rounds as evidence in the case but failed to list them in the Rust investigation file or disclose their existence to defence lawyers.
The defence's motion to dismiss comes following their questioning of sheriff's crime scene technician Marissa Poppell on Thursday. They are accusing the state of concealing evidence concerning ammunition that a 'good Samaritan' delivered to the crime scene technician following the trial of Rust armourer Hannah Gutierrez, who is serving 18 months in prison after being convicted for her role in the shooting earlier this year.
