Alec Baldwin wept in court as a Santa Fe judge dismissed his involuntary manslaughter case on Friday after a day-long, dramatic and often bizarre hearing over how police and prosecutors treated a handful of bullets.
“The late discovery of this evidence has impacted the fundamental fairness of the proceedings,” Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer stated in dismissing the case with prejudice, which means Baldwin cannot be re-tried. “There is no way for the court to right this wrong. The sanction of dismissal is the only warranted remedy.”
