CNN reported:
In a stunning move Friday, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer has dismissed the indictment against Alec Baldwin.
Baldwin’s attorney had filed a motion to dismiss the case, arguing misconduct by state investigators in not properly disclosing evidence in the case.
Marlowe Sommer agreed the state improperly disclosed evidence to the defense. “There is no way for the court to right this wrong,” she said.

The judge overseeing the manslaughter trial of actor Alec Baldwin halted testimony Friday and sent the jury home for the day as she considered a new motion by the actor’s legal team to have the case thrown out based on allegations prosecutors did not properly turn over evidence.
The motion comes just a few days into Baldwin’s involuntary manslaughter trial related to the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on October 21, 2021, on the New Mexico set of the Western film “Rust.” Baldwin has pleaded not guilty and, if convicted, could face up to 18 months in prison.
