Prosecutor asks for charge to be reinstated against Alec Baldwin in 'Rust' case
Briefly

Special prosecutor Kari Morrissey argues that there were insufficient facts to support a July ruling that dismissed the involuntary manslaughter charge against Baldwin.
Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the case due to 'egregious discovery violations constituting misconduct' by law enforcement and prosecutors, impacting Baldwin's defense.
Baldwin's lawyers claimed that prosecutors had 'buried' evidence, while Morrissey insisted that the undisclosed ammunition was irrelevant to Baldwin's responsibility in the incident.
The charge against Baldwin was dismissed with prejudice, meaning it cannot be revived, which leaves him in a legally favorable position if appeals are exhausted.
