The judge dismissed Alec Baldwin's trial after his lawyers accused the state of withholding evidence related to live ammunition reaching the Rust movie set, leading to a fatal shooting. Evidence included rounds of ammunition turned in by a retired police officer months ago.
Judge Sommer examined the ammunition in court after the defense revealed that it may be linked to the Rust set. The weapon Mr. Baldwin used was meant to contain inert rounds, but a live bullet killed the cinematographer and injured the director.
The trial's early witnesses were law enforcement officers who responded to the shooting. The jury witnessed footage of the chaos following the incident, showing an on-set medic attending to the cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins.
