charged with involuntary manslaughter in January. However, special prosecutors Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis announced the state was dropping Baldwin’s charges in April as “new facts” had been revealed that required further investigation.

In their motion to dismiss, the special prosecutors noted that the further investigation and forensic analysis required could not be completed before Baldwin’s preliminary hearing, which had been scheduled for May 3.The case has since been closed in the First Judicial District Court of New Mexico, but Baldwin could potentially still face new charges in the future.In October, Morrissey and Lewis announced they planned to convene a grand jury to decide if new charges should be brought against Baldwin. “After extensive investigation over the past several months, additional facts have come to light that we believe show Mr.

Baldwin has criminal culpability in the death of Halyna Hutchins and the shooting of Joel Souza,” the New Mexico special prosecutors told Fox News Digital at the time.“We believe the appropriate course of action is to permit a panel of New Mexico citizens to determine from here whether Mr.

Baldwin should be held over for criminal trial.”However, it is unclear if the grand jury has been convened since the announcement due to the traditionally secret nature of the court proceeding.Baldwin still faces a handful of civil lawsuits, including one brought by “Rust” script supervisor Mamie Mitchell, along with another by Hutchins’ mother, father and sister.
