Alec Baldwin's Rust manslaughter trial dismissed over alleged hidden evidence | BBC News

Alec Baldwin broke down in tears as a judge dismissed the involuntary manslaughter case against him for a fatal shooting on the set of the film Rust.

The trial collapsed three days into Baldwin's trial in Santa Fe, at a court just miles from where cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot with a revolver that Mr Baldwin was using in rehearsals.

It is the second time the case against the actor has been dismissed since the October 2021 shooting. He will not be tried again.

His lawyers alleged police and prosecutors hid evidence - a batch of bullets - that could have been connected to the shooting.
