Did Judge Deny Rust Trial Prosecutor’s Request To Reinstate Alec Baldwin’s Manslaughter Case? REPORT

As a die-hard fan who has followed Alec Baldwin’s career since his days on “30 Rock,” I can’t help but feel a mix of emotions as I read about the latest developments in the Rust criminal trial. On one hand, I’m saddened by the continued pain and tragedy surrounding this incident, and on the other, I’m fascinated by the complexities of the legal process and the intricacies of Hollywood production.


Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer refuses Alec Baldwin’s request to dismiss the criminal trial for the incident on “Rust.” The court allows the prosecution to continue their efforts to re-file manslaughter charges against the actor.

On September 6th, Judge in New Mexico denied a request by Special Prosecutor Kari T. Morrissey to reconsider her decision, which had previously dismissed actor Alec Baldwin’s manslaughter case back on July 12th. This initial dismissal was related to Baldwin’s manslaughter case.

On August 30, Morrissey submitted a reconsideration request that was longer than what’s typically allowed. Specifically, it exceeded the allotted time for such motions. Additionally, the prosecution provided an extra document, which surpassed the court’s limit for filed documents of this type.

Specifically, the submission consisted of 52 written pages along with an extra 387 pages of related materials. According to People’s judgment, briefs that surpass the designated page count, even if this court has granted extra pages, tend to be seldom persuasive.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d like to clarify a recent event that’s been making headlines: the unfortunate incident on the set of the movie “Rust” on October 21, 2021. In this case, Alec Baldwin, aged 66, found himself in an unimaginable situation when a prop gun he was handling discharged, leading to the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza. Subsequently, Mr. Baldwin was taken into custody for involuntary manslaughter charges.

To this very moment, Baldwin continues to assert that he never pulled the trigger himself and was unaware of how the gun discharged with live ammunition.

Prior to the court ruling, Baldwin’s attorney, Luke Nikas, introduced evidence about ammunition supplied by Troy Teske. Teske is a friend of Thell Reed, who is the father of Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the convicted armorer in this case. In an attempt to help with the investigation, Teske had handed over the surplus ammunition to the authorities.

Earlier, Morrissey stated that these weapons weren’t crucial elements in the Rust case.

On September 6th, Judge Sommer stated in her decision that the prosecution’s justification for exceeding page limits on their request for reconsideration was unnecessary. As a result, she dismissed this motion, effectively ending the prosecution’s attempt to reinstate manslaughter charges against Baldwin permanently.
