While the prosecution in Alec Baldwin's "Rust" trial appeared to begin with a strong case, at least two jurors revealed they already had doubts about the actor's guilt before the charge was dismissed on July 12.
Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter charge with prejudice following two days of trial testimony from experts called by the prosecution. Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins died Oct. 21, 2021 after a gun Baldwin was holding fired on the Bonanza Creek Ranch film set in New Mexico.
