Alec Baldwin Trial: Jury Dismissed Amid Evidence Dispute

Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter trial in the Rust case faced a halt as a defense motion to dismiss charges alleging the state withheld ammunition evidence related to Halyna Hutchins' death was considered by Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer. The defense claimed the Santa Fe sheriff's office hid live rounds, potentially linked to the shooting, from Baldwin's team. Amid testimonies from Rust prop supplier Seth Kenney and others, the prosecution denied any concealment. Baldwin, who pleads not guilty, caused a stir by abruptly leaving the courtroom during proceedings, later returning with coffee, prompting reactions on social media. The trial continues as the judge weighs the defense's motion and potential implications on the case's outcome.
