The actor sobbed and hugged his attorneys as the judge threw out the case due to errors made by the police and prosecution after an incredible day in court during which the special prosecutor called herself a witness.
The 66-year-old Baldwin has consistently refuted the accusation of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the shooting death of cameraman Halyna Hutchins. He argues that others on the Rust filming set in New Mexico were in charge of making sure the pistol was safe.
The case against Baldwin has now been dismissed, some three years after Ms. Hutchins passed away, and Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer has stated that it cannot be brought up again.
