Two Alec Baldwin Jurors Were Leaning Toward Guilty Verdict When Case Was Dismissed

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer Two jurors in the Alec Baldwin trial told Variety they were leaning toward a guilty verdict when the involuntary manslaughter case was abruptly dismissed. Their views are at odds with those of three other jurors who told the New York Times and People that they had serious doubts about Baldwin’s guilt. Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the case on July 12, after learning that prosecutors had failed to provide the defense with evidence of a trove of bullets.

Alec Baldwin ‘Rust’ case dismissed over “critical” bullet evidence
Alec Baldwin over an ill-fated incident on the film set of ‘Rust’ has been dismissed over “critical” bullet evidence, which the judge ruled was withheld from the court.Yesterday (July 12), New Mexico Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer stated in her ruling to dismiss the case to the court. “The state has repeatedly made representations to defense and to the court that they were compliant with all their discovery obligations,” she said, as reported by Deadline.On October 21, 2021 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot and director Joel Souza was injured on the set of the film – a live round had been discharged from a revolver that was used as a prop by Baldwin.The case has since taken sharp turns since the beginning of the trial this week (July 10), including confusion over how live rounds ended up on the set of ‘Rust’ in the guns of Baldwin and others, including actor Jansen Ackles, whose role was recast during the film’s resurrected production in 2022.The trial also did not reach a conclusion if Baldwin had pulled the trigger on the gun with the live bullet – Baldwin testified that he did not, while testimonies from an FBI representative and the propmaker of the gun otherwise disagreed.
