Baldwin’s attorneys lay out the entire narrative of the trial as they see it… saying the state’s egregious misconduct in concealing certain ammunition evidence merited the dismissal of the case — and they ask the court to uphold that ruling.

The trial ended with a shocking dismissal in July after it was revealed that prosecutors had hidden certain evidence of live ammunition from Baldwin’s lawyers. The “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed on set in October 2021 by a bullet fired from a prop gun.
Police investigator Marissa Poppell testified that she was told to put the evidence in a file with a different case number than the “Rust” file — which Baldwin’s lawyers said was essentially hiding the evidence.

Judge Mary Marlowe Summer called the prosecutors’ actions “egregious” and said he had no choice but to dismiss the case with prejudice.
We contacted the Public Prosecutor’s Office… so far, no response.
