See moment judge throws out case against Alec Baldwin
In a stunning move Friday, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer has dismissed the indictment against Alec Baldwin. The case was dismissed with prejudice, meaning prosecutors cannot bring it back. #baldwin #CNN #news

Baldwin wasn't just an actor, he was also a producer, and one of the people who had been informed of safety concerns just before the incident in question. Point being, there's at the very least a case worth trying here. I don't know if he would have been found guilty or not, but that was a very real option. It wouldn't have mattered if the armorer was *more* to blame, both could still be to blame. Either way though, we'll never know, because the prosecution undermined the justice system.

EVERYONE should be held accountable here, not just one person. I don't know if those people were also held to account or not. It is just sad, because Alex had faith in the people who were supposed to be handling that for him. Can you imagine the shock when he fired that gun and someone died when it was supposed to be a prop? Horrible. That makes me angry for him.

Very anti-social and hate society.

"Withholding evidence by a prosecutor during trial" should be a crime punishable by years in jail, a hefty fine, and permanent disbarment from being a lawyer on a second offense. BET YOU if defense attorneys had been caught doing something like this, Mr. Baldwin would be looking at jail time. The fact that these prosecutors are just going to go on with their lives, maybe with an L in their W/L ratio, is really disgusting because they learn nothing but to be more careful with how they withhold evidence the next time.

For those of you who have as have I followed this case, it has been apparent for some time that the prosecutors and the police were acting way too arrogant. In their mind, they had made the choices, they made the decisions, they were the law, that they were the case. They had lost their focus on who they are and who they really work for. A prosecutor and the police must never forget that they work for the people. The choices are not their choices, the decisions they do not get to decide. Society long ago has made the choices and the decisions. The police and the prosecutors are required to follow the law as it is written, not the whim of one or the other. The judge made the only decisions she could make based on their conduct Coincidentally, this is the same focus we have seen abandoned in our Supreme Court’s decisions of late and our national politics. Americans need to do as this defense Attorney and Judge have done and draw the line in the sand. Now, and 100 times if needs be, we the people must draw the line in the sand. The line is well known by those knowledgeable of faith and conscience and the law. We must remind our courts and our leaders. Now is the time!

Most of us believe that Baldwin accidentally shot those two people. It's very sad that one of them even parrished. With that being said,we also know AB would be putting on skits on SNL pertaining to the trajedy ,if Trump were involved. The guy looks like he's unhinged all the time, and it doesn't take anything for him to go on a rant. What ever you do, don't take the guys parking place.
Such a tragic case all around. The prosecutor should face sanctions or disbarment.

It's not fair to suppress evidence without the court's knowledge and it shouldn't be fair to be able to ask the court to suppress information from jurors.

She dead! He shot her! Any sane gun owner knows to double check a firearm when it is passed to you. Other actors, like Will Smith, and others, chastised Baldwin for not double checking the gun. At the very least, this is negligent homicide, or manslaughter. As far as I'm concerned, Baldwin is dead to me. Yes I'm a nobody, but a lot of nobodies, becomes somebody. This case was open and shut. Did the prosecutor purposefully create reversible error!
I always thought it was wrong to try and blame or prosecute Mr. Baldwin. I'm glad this is over for him and his family, and some closure for the victims' family. RIP to the innocent victim, Ms. Hutchins and comfort to her family 💞💞
I couldn’t see how charges were even brought against Baldwin. If someone works on your breaks and it’s proven they are negligent in the repair they are responsible for any result of driving said car, not the driver

Anyone else would have gotten in more trouble. The armorer is also more to blame, but that doesn't mean Alec is entirely blameless either. He knew better. It's not like the first time he held a gun in a movie. Plenty before him did that, and they didn't kill folks like he did.
That whole journey was unnecessary and ignorant. Never should have brought charges in the first place.

@@sammy-ix3eh I agree that no one should have ever handed this absolutely irresponsible imbecile a firearm of any kind. Clearly he can't tell the difference and he doesn't know anything about proper handling of a firearm. When I was at basic training, they handed everyone five blanks and told everyone to load them into a magazine and then load the magazine into the firearm at all times, just to see who the nitwits were. I witnessed at least two negligent discharges due to mishandling. They should have been discharged from the service then and there before they killed someone. Never, ever point a gun barrel at another human being. Unload, clear, check and discharge in a safe direction. If you can't do that, you shouldn't hand someone a gun. Blanks can kill, and they killed Brandon Lee on the set of The Crow.

The usual double standard
I'm a white Republican male. I do not agree with Alec's politics but he has brought joy to my family for years. We named our son after him. He's innocent and he is ripped to shreds by this this. My heart goes out to the family of the victims here but Alec is innocent. I'm sorry but hes INNOCENT😢

Again, It is the responsibility of prop dept which includes the firearms expert.
