Alec Baldwin's 'Rust' Case Dismissed Amid Legal Drama

TL;DR Summary
Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter trial for the fatal shooting of "Rust" cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was dismissed by Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer due to significant prosecutorial errors, including the concealment of evidence. Legal experts describe the trial as a "comedy of errors" and a major embarrassment for the New Mexico legal system. The dismissal means Baldwin cannot be charged again for this incident, and the case is expected to be studied for years as an example of prosecutorial misconduct.
