New Mexico prosecutors have decided not to appeal a court ruling that dismissed an involuntary manslaughter charge against Alec Baldwin, stemming from the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

The dismissal, issued by Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer, occurred mid-trial due to allegations that police and prosecutors had withheld evidence from the defense.

Complications arose when it was revealed that live ammunition was brought to the Santa Fe County sheriff's office in March 2024, which Baldwin's lawyers argued indicated improper handling of evidence.

Baldwin has expressed a desire to support his seven children and has acknowledged that many aspects of the case remain undisclosed due to the lack of a full trial.

He has also indicated a commitment to revealing the truth about the incident, stating that the complete story has not yet been told.

Baldwin described the public's reaction towards him as overwhelmingly negative, with many desiring severe consequences, including his death, imprisonment, or cancellation.

He criticized mainstream media for allegedly suppressing stories that could aid in his exoneration while amplifying damaging narratives about him.

Despite the challenges, Baldwin completed filming 'Rust' against medical advice, waiving his fee to support Hutchins' family and indicating his commitment to resolving legal matters.

Following the dismissal of charges, Baldwin has resumed his acting career, making appearances on 'Saturday Night Live' and preparing for a new reality show with his family.

In response to the dismissal, Hutchins' sister, Svetlana Zemko, emphasized the need for accountability from Baldwin.

Mary Carmack-Altwies, attorney for the First Judicial District of New Mexico, stated that while they disagree with the court's ruling, the office remains committed to justice.

The incident has sparked significant scrutiny regarding safety protocols in the film industry, particularly concerning firearms and live ammunition on set.
