Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer agreed the prosecution had suppressed evidence and the trial could not continue
judge on Friday threw out the involuntary manslaughter case against Alec Baldwin in the middle of his trial and said it cannot be filed again.
The 66-year-old actor had pleaded not guilty. He claims that he was not aware the revolver contained a live round and that it discharged accidentally after he followed instructions to point it toward Hutchins. Marissa Poppell, a sheriff’s office crime scene technician who testified this week, claimed the rounds were not hidden from Baldwin’s lawyers and pushed back on Baldwin lawyer Alex Spiro’s contention that the Colt .45 ammunition matched the round that killed Hutchins at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe County on Oct. 21, 2021.
