Judge just ruled on prosecutor misconduct in holding back evidence. Dismissed case against Baldwin.
Wow. I did not see that coming. Interesting if this gets appealed.
For now, Killer Baldwin Goes Free.
Update: I was watching the live feed when this happened. The evidence in question is arguably not material and a dismissal was not warranted. We will see if the Prosecutor appeals this (that office may). Andrew Branca (as usual) had some very good takes on the law in this matter.
Halyna Hutchins is unavailable for comment.

The big issue is "if"
Unpopular Opinion: If the prosecution did not disclose key evidence until the middle of trial (I do not know if that happened, but the court thought so), the case must be dismissed. Double jeopardy attaches - he cannot be retried.

Re: the #AlecBaldwin manslaughter dismissal based on a purported Brady violation by the prosecution--evidence "improperly withheld" from the defense:

The supposedly "withheld evidence" had to do with the source of the round that Alec Baldwin used to kill Halyna Hutchins.…
I seem to recall that the prosecution withheld evidence in the Chauvin trial. Didn't seem to make a difference there.
