A New Mexico judge has dismissed the involuntary manslaughter case against Alec Baldwin in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie 'Rust.' The decision came after Baldwin's defense team filed a motion to dismiss the case, alleging that prosecutors had withheld crucial evidence, including ammunition. The trial was put on hold earlier as the judge considered the defense's request. The dismissal, with prejudice, means that the case cannot be refiled.
