- 1:28Speaker 3: The criminal case against actor Alec Baldwin stemming from the
- 1:31Speaker 3: tragic shooting on the set of the film Rust, has
- 1:34Speaker 3: come to a sudden close. As Sidney Sumner of Crime
- 1:37Speaker 3: Online tells us, the case focused on the handling of
- 1:40Speaker 3: bullets from the start and ended for the same reason.
- 1:44Speaker 2: Nearly three years ago, cinematographer Helena Hutchens was shot and
- 1:48Speaker 2: killed on the New Mexico set of Rust. Authorities were
- 1:51Speaker 2: consumed by one key question, how did live lethal rounds
- 1:55Speaker 2: end up among the blanks and dummy rounds traditionally used
- 1:58Speaker 2: in movie gunfire, and then into the revolver Baldwin was handling.
- 2:02Speaker 2: On Friday, New evidence presented by Baldwin's attorneys led to
- 2:05Speaker 2: the judge ruling that prosecutors had improperly failed to share
- 2:08Speaker 2: this evidence. This resulted in the dismissal of Baldwin's involuntary
- 2:12Speaker 2: manslaughter trial. The evidence included ammunition turned over by a
- 2:16Speaker 2: man who walked into the Santa Fe County Sheriff's office
- 2:18Speaker 2: in March. The trial's abrupt end leaves uncertainty about whether
- 2:21Speaker 2: Baldwin's defense would have clarified the origins of the live
- 2:24Speaker 2: rounds or added more confusion. However, the dismissal closed off
- 2:28Speaker 2: a critical avenue for addressing this question. Special Prosecutor Carrie
- 2:32Speaker 2: Morrissey and other authorities are nearly certain about who brought
- 2:35Speaker 2: the live rounds onto the set, even if they are
- 2:37Speaker 2: unclear how they ended up in Baldwin's revolver. They point
- 2:40Speaker 2: to Hannah Gutiera's Read, the film's armorer, who was convicted
- 2:44Speaker 2: of involuntary manslaughter in March and sentenced to eighteen months
- 2:47Speaker 2: in prison. Testimony last week from a crime scene technician
- 2:51Speaker 2: revealed photos on Gutierra's read cell phone showing her with
- 2:54Speaker 2: the box where the bullets came from. Additionally, Seth Kenney,
- 2:57Speaker 2: who supplied the firearms in some of the blanks and
- 2:59Speaker 2: dummy rounds for rust, testified that Gutier as Reid had
- 3:02Speaker 2: contacted him about using live ammunition with the prop guns
- 3:05Speaker 2: on a different film shortly before rust. Baldwin's lawyers argued
- 3:09Speaker 2: that authorities had not thoroughly investigated Kenny and had an
- 3:12Speaker 2: overly cozy relationship with him. They suggested this might have
- 3:16Speaker 2: led to an oversight of his potential responsibility for the
- 3:18Speaker 2: live rounds. However, the trial ended before this defense could
- 3:22Speaker 2: be fully explored. Police and prosecutors maintain there is no
- 3:25Speaker 2: evidence that Kenny was responsible. Kenny testified that he was
- 3:29Speaker 2: certain he had not provided the live ammunition.
- 3:31Speaker 3: Gutierra's reed is currently appealing her verdict, and her lawyers
- 3:35Speaker 3: planned to file a new motion to dismiss following the
- 3:38Speaker 3: Baldwin ruling.
