The manslaughter trial against Alec Baldwin over the fatal shooting of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins has been dismissed. Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer threw out the case over how police and prosecutors treated a handful of bullets, which they failed to turn over to the defence.

“The state is highly culpable for its failure to provide discovery to the defendant,” Judge Sommer said. “Dismissal with prejudice is warranted.” The dismissal came as a surprise as gasps were said to be heard in the courtroom and Baldwin was congratulated by his family and supporters.

    I think that’s the guy that shit on Wendigoon, right? That’s kinda like calling out Steve Irwin or saying LeVar Burton was useless.

      Wendigoon does a great job of keeping all of his personal opinions out of the channel and I commend him for that. He’s literally the first conservative christian I can watch where that’s the case.
