Process against US actor Baldwin dismissed due to withheld evidence

The procedure had taken an unexpected turn prior to Friday. Baldwin's attorney Alex Spiro presented evidence that sharp ammunition was given to the police in connection with the fatal shooting, which the Baldwin lawyers had not been informed about. Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer then decided that the withholding by the prosecution was intentional. This greatly harmed the defendant.

During the filming of the Western "Rust" in 2021, the 42-year-old camera woman Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot by a bullet from a revolver held by Baldwin. The same bullet injured the director Joel Souza.

The prosecution accuses Baldwin of disregarding fundamental firearms safety regulations and recklessly endangering his colleagues on set. The actor insists on his innocence and claims he did not pull the trigger.

  1. The US-Actor Alec Baldwin's legal team, led by Alex Spiro, is now seeking to question the credibility of the US-Prosecutor's Office, citing the withheld evidence about the use of sharp ammunition by the police.
  2. The Public Prosecutor's Office is now facing scrutiny over its handling of the evidence in the case involving Alec Baldwin, whose attorney, Alex Spiro, has provided proof of the withholding of information concerning the police's use of sharp ammunition.
  3. In a turn of events, Alec Baldwin's attorney, Alex Spiro, submitted evidence showing that the police had provided them with sharp ammunition previously, information that was not disclosed to Baldwin's legal team by the prosecution.
  4. The legal team of Alec Baldwin, which includes renowned lawyer Alex Spiro, has pointed out the withholding of evidence by the prosecution regarding the use of sharp ammunition, raising concerns over the fairness of the trial.
  5. Following the judgment that the US-Prosecutor's Office intentionally withheld evidence about sharp ammunition from Alec Baldwin's legal team, led by Alex Spiro, questions have arisen over the impartiality of the proceedings and the potential impact on the case.
