Honestly, just the fact that the State tested the gun to destruction and therefore didn't allow the defense the ability to examine it in its original state should have been grounds for dismissal.

It's called prosecutorial misconduct and they should go on trial for what they did

DA needs to be seriously investigated. What other cases have they had where they tampered with or hid evidence from the Defense?

The Judge is very right!

Why it was dismissed. 1. The evidence was not given to the defence. 2. The evidence was filled under a different case, and miss labelled it as the bullet required. 3. The judge wanted to see the evidence and determined it was the same bullet type. It made no sense why it was filled under a different case, or miss labelled.

Corruption in the justice system will never be acceptable and should never be tolerated

No nonsense from the Judge. State being sloppy, sneaky, shady with evidence. Dismissed with prejudice, game over.

It was a tragedy for the family and Mr. Baldwin. Tragic accident 😢

As anticipated. The charges were so bogus.

Brady violation. Judge ruled correctly! Justice prevails!

Its been a horrible accident and a poor Alex has gone thru hell

Nobody bought off the Judge. It was a total Brady Violation. The Judge did the right thing! Get over it, and consider for one moment: if you were a defendant and the prosecution hid evidence from the trial, you would be very happy that the Judge dismissed the case for those reasons.

Been a avid fan of mr alec baldwin & specially delighted that the case was DISMISSED 🙏

Spiro went in like a shark when he saw his chance. Great lawyering.

This has been one of the most Despicable characters of justice. I'm Glad it was Dismissed!! It was a very UNFORTUNATE accident. 😐

If you are going to charge Alec, literally everyone else in set needs to have charges brought up. It is my understanding that it is the responsibility of everyone on set to ensure a firearm is safe. There should not have been live rounds on site in any case.

Obviously the possibility is there that the prosecution has done stuff like this before and got away with it. The amount of people falsely accused and incarcerated proves that.

Justice ⚖️ was served.

His lawyers blew a hole in the case for the prosecution. :)

Glad for Alec, New Mexico's lawyers are shameful

It was a stunning dismissal and well-justified. It is not the prosecutor's decision on what the defense would want to use or not use. Morrissey's career may be over.

About time. Never should have been brought.

This is so confusing and very sad. Hope her family can find peace someday. From before Brandon Lee to now, I pray more precautions are taken so It never happens again.

this was a perfect example of a case that should have never been brought

I hope that Hannah Guttierez-Reed is given the same consideration that freed Alec Baldwin today. The evidence that was not introduced during discovery by the prosecution might well have had the same effect on her defence team's case if it had been available at the time of her trial. Let's hope this isn't going to be a rich guy gets off while 24 year old girl languishes in prison. In fact, Baldwin could do worse than to maybe have his team look into her case.

Good !!! This case should have never been....

It's about time when you're working in the movie industry someone hands you a prop you use it. You're not responsible for anything. How dare they continually go after him? It's because they want to sue him simply because he has the most money.

A judge who takes her job and oath seriously, “judge” Cannon should take notes.

I’m happy for you Alec Baldwin . That must have been a nightmare . Maybe after you get some rest you can come back to comedy?

It’s a rough situation but sometimes bad things happen. Sometimes preventable bad things happen. The goal of the tribunal was to find criminal negligence and simply put: not all neglegence is criminal. Actors are not armorers and guns require more training than anyone is willing to admit, unfortunately. He will have to live with the public knowledge of what he’s done and in this specific circumstance I feel that justice was served

good....

DA f@@ked up

JUSTICE FINALLY SERVED. ALEC DID NOT BRING THE GUN TO THE SHOOT !@#$ QUESTION IS WAS THIS PROSECUTION POLITICAL OR WHAT?

I am not a fan of Mr. Baldwin. HOWEVER, when he was handed a firearm by a person whose sole purpose in life was to ensure that it was safe for Mr. Baldwin to handle and/or operate, the negligence lies squarely with the firearm safety person. As was appropriate, she was found both guilty and her company was found liable. Even though Mr. Baldwin states the gun "went off on its own", which is absurd, it is also irrelevant. With respect to the ammunition, it sounds as though when it was brought to the attention of the police department, they appropriately seized and kept the ammunition as evidence. The fact that it was booked under a new case number is irrelevant. You can always cross-reference cases in the report narrative. What the police should have done was make reference to the "Rust Investigation" in their report so that the newly discovered evidence could be brought to the attention of the handling investigator(s). Then, it was up to the investigators to (1) investigate the origin of the ammunition and (2) bring the information immediately to the attention of the handling prosecutor. Now, if this was, in fact, how things took place and the prosecutor failed to disclose this evidence to the defense, that is completely bad. As a prosecutor, you are obligated to turn over ALL evidence regardless of whether or not you believe it is germane to the case. So, the judge made an appropriate decision. The fact that she dismissed it "with prejudice" is not problematic because he truly never should have been charged in the first place.

They used Alec Baldwin to get there 15 minutes of fame.

This was Republicans trying to get a Trump hater. Who are they kidding it wasn't anything but that.

THE CORRECT VERDICT , I WISH THE BALDWIN FAMILY ALL THE BEST .

Movies have a set of rule- an armorer is supposed to be a qualified person who endures that any weapons that are used in movies/TV are safe. The armorer is at fault- not the actor. Then (due to politics) the prosecution attempted tried to prosecute a person who is not at fault. that will get a dismissal. Then The politically motivated prosecutor intentionally hid evidence- that gets you a dismissed with prejudice". For the record- I don't like Alec Baldwin! However- justice doesn't care about how I feel.

Not guilty. Told ya

Mr. Baldwin people want to see you again on Saturday night live as President Trump they will pay you top dollar ❤$$$$$

Why are u even bringing this entertainment lawyer back? a few hours ago he said this motion that lead to the case being dismissed would do nothing. He has no idea what he is talking about.

WOW!

You provided the best coverage, a great video, well explained.

Are these guys bloody serious, come on,

Good day - Alec’s case dismissed, Rudy got hammered. 😊

These prosecutors need to be held accountable! This is absolutely terrible! Reade needs to be let out and paid well all I gotta say !

Prosecutor a shark, & plays dirty, witholding evidence (NNever justice for the life of an innocent person though)

It’s bad enough the prosecutor was complicit but the police unfortunately do much worse because of prosecutors and attorney generals like the one we saw today enabling them.

I got a rhetorical question: if this happened to a low life black dude with an appointed lawyer, would this be the outcome? Come on, be honest!

I'm not allowed to have a gun with me on a remote hiking trail for self defense. How do they justify the use of real guns as props for movies? Accidents are foreseeable. Movie prop guns should by law be non-fireable replicas. Just common sense.

Damm sounds like GA prosecutors

Dismissed WITH Prejudice!!! Justice served on a silver platter 🎉 for Alec

unprecedented . Bravo to the defense !!! Prosecution was a train wreck with blatant disregard - Brady violation . Judge Sommer did a great job today 💪

Girls getting it done. 😂😂😂😂

Nothing to do with left or right politics let's get that clear.

I never understood why Alec Baldwin was held accountable in the first place. To my knowledge, he is not an ammunition's expert. He is an actor! I am glad to hear that this case is dismissed. Alec, if you're reading this, take a nice long vacation and try to put all of this all behind you.

like it or not, he killed her and walks with no penalty. Its wrong.

Thank God it didn't go before The Supreme Court

This man never should have never ever been brought to trial. I don’t care who likes him or doesn’t. This is a waste of time and money. This man trusted the armorer to do her job and she didn’t. They only did this to make the news. It’s crazy.

It's america, what do youz Expect? Smh

Another prosecuter not doing thier job by making things personal because of the profile and losing the case.

the gun fully loaded or just one round i havent heard anything about that

alec is a bad movie producer but is he guilty of manslaughter ? he definatley has some responsibility in this case he got off lightly in my oppinion

It was ridiculous from the beginning. Whoever puts a live round in a prop gun is responsible. Alec didn't know, was devastated and the prosecutors were only doing this to get 2 yrs of fame. What they got was condemnation for bringing the charges at all. You put Alec, his family and friends through hell. Over reach, hiding the truth. Prosecutors involved in this goose chase should face charges. The yoke is too tight! Vote blue 💙

🙏🙏🙏🙏❤🦋

Who didn't see that coming? $$$$

bought and paid for

Ty it was with prejudice do not omit that shyt how many trials he had a person that was a professional that fed up some greedy prosecutor thought ppl are mad I have to meaning he's a coward that doesn't realize justice suppose to be blind or he kept it going bc publicity n media gyoe

NOT MUCH OF A SURPRISE! THE LAW IS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR!

Must be nice to be a celebrity.

Check the bank accounts of those prosecutors who got this dismissed!

Why would you ask this lady's expert advice?

All about the Benjamin's. Bought and paid for.

Love Alec. Tradgic thing due to a coked up hot shot kid. Thank God for justice.

Money talks

Thank Heaven❤

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but were the live rounds planted? If so, by who?

Congrats mr baldwin!

Could you imagine if Baldwin supported a republican canidate😂

Sad.

Just because he is rich and famous. A travesty of justice.

He’s innocent because he didn’t bring the active rounds. BUT!! WTF are you doing pointing any gun at ANYONE! Act as if it’s loaded. You killed her Alec. Shows how high and mighty you think you are that normal precautions don’t apply to you. Point away from ANYONE. Real or fake.

He failed to follow basic gun safety rules. He didn’t clear his weapon system. He never should have handled that weapon without a basic understanding of how it functions.

Two tiered justice system at work. A show trial so they could say at least they tried. Meanwhile if it was one of us peasants, we'd be spending the next few years in prison for doing what he did.

AB aint never going back to NM

this old man is guilty for the death of that lady!!!

OF COURSE THEY DISMISSED IT .THE CHICK IN PRISON WAS THE SCAPEGOAT

A normal citizen would be locked away. This bs is about money. Who is getting paid. Thats what needs to be investiged. Who follow the money trail. This isnt over. Bank accounts recipes, follow the monthly money.

Wow, outragous

liberal activist judges are thick in new mexico...

Another leading Left winger allowed to walk scott-free…unbelievable!

GUILTY .

alec baldwin doesn't look like an actor anymore. if you never saw him before you'd think he was another atty at the defense table and look around wondering where's alec baldwin.

Ask yourself Was Alex Baldwin supposed to point the gun and fire it at her for the movie. No then why did he.

He should not get off Scot free he pointed the gun at her point blank

Let all congratulate this judge and all wish her BON VOYAGE """enjoy your new 31 foot French boat .I mean yacht... Well democrats other than Hunter Biden have operated without consequences for past 10 11 yrs. .do whatever and walk away laughing with more money some how.. its good to be a democrat.

a woman as an armourer? give me a break.

Anyone who handles a firearm must use good firearms safety. Doesn’t matter that the REAL gun was used in a movie. Everyone, actor or not, must be safe with a gun. That’s why sets are required to hold firearms safety classes for every film that has firearms. Alec blew the class off and someone died because of it.

Blah blah blah horseshit. He pointed a gun at someone and pulled the trigger. He directly ended a person’s life because he ignored gun safety rules

Another OJ
