In a stunning turn of events, Alec Baldwin found himself in tears as the involuntary manslaughter case against him took a dramatic twist. The judge dismissed the felony charge after glaring mistakes on the part of the prosecution.
Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer had no choice but to throw out the case when crucial evidence that could have aided Baldwin’s defense was not disclosed by the prosecutors. Gasps filled the Santa Fe courtroom as the ruling was announced, and Baldwin, visibly emotional, sought comfort in the arms of his wife, Hilaria.
After the ruling, Baldwin left the courthouse and avoided the press, choosing instead to embrace his wife in a moment of raw emotion. This case, stemming from the tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins over two years ago, has undoubtedly taken a toll on Baldwin’s reputation. But for now, he can breathe a sigh of relief as the legal battle comes to an unexpected end.
