Fatal shot on film set: trial against Alec Baldwin discontinued

At the request of Baldwin’s defense attorneys, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the case once morest the Hollywood star on Friday (local time) due to withheld evidence.

The defense had accused the prosecution of withholding evidence and thus of gross misconduct. With a serious expression, the judge agreed following a legal back and forth in the courtroom. The late discovery of this evidence would affect the “fundamental fairness” of the proceedings, said Sommer. There was no way for the court to correct this omission, she continued. Dismissal of the proceedings was the only legal remedy.

Baldwin listened to the judge’s statements with tears in his eyes. He took off his glasses, visibly overwhelmed and relieved, he put his hand over his eyes and bowed his head. The actor hugged his lawyers, then fell into the arms of his wife, Hilaria Baldwin.
