A judge’s ruling Friday abruptly ended the involuntary manslaughter case against actor Alec Baldwin. Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the case based on the misconduct of police and prosecutors over the withholding of evidence from the defense in the shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film “Rust.” The trial had been expected to last nine days, but was ended on its fourth day. Baldwin had faced up to 18 months in prison if convicted. Marlowe Sommer’s ruling means the case cannot be brought against Baldwin again. The actor wept and hugged his lawyers and his wife Hilaria after the ruling.
