The criminal case against Alec Baldwin was about the handling of bullets from the beginning.
Authorities could never definitively determine how the lethal ammunition got into the mix and into Baldwin's revolver on the set of the film “Rust.” And the handling of bullets brought it to an end.
With the trial ended in its infancy, it is difficult to say whether the case made by Baldwin's elite and expensive team of lawyers would have shed light on the live rounds question or would have muddied it further.“I feel like this this entire case has run its course, and we will never know,” said John Day, a New Mexico attorney who followed the case but is not involved in it. “You can’t redo a bad investigation. Once it’s done, it’s done like this.
And at the hearing that led to the case's dismissal on Friday, Seth Kenney, who provided the firearms and some of the blanks and dummy rounds to the set of “Rust,” testified that shortly before “Rust,” Gutierrez-Reed had called and texted him about shooting live ammo with the guns to be used as props in the Nicolas Cage film “The Old Way,” which she was working on in Montana.
Police and prosecutors say there is zero evidence that Kenney is responsible, and he testified Friday that he was absolutely certain he had not been the source. Several civil lawsuits against Baldwin and “Rust” producers could still end up shedding light on the bullet question.
