Baldwin faced an unprecedented criminal prosecution as an actor for an on-set shooting and his lawyers said prosecutors dragged him through a 'cesspool of improprieties'

This is AI generated summarization, which may have errors. For context, always refer to the full article.

Breaking down in tears, the multiple Emmy-award winning actor hugged his wife Hilaria Baldwin as other family members wept in the public gallery. The actor’s lawyer Alex Spiro told the court that the Santa Fe sheriff’s office took possession of live rounds in March as evidence in the case but failed to list them in the “Rust” investigation file or disclose their existence to defense lawyers.

“I did not intend to mislead the court,” lead state prosecutor Kari Morrissey said after taking the unusual step of defending herself from the witness stand. “My understanding of what was dropped off at the sheriff’s office is on this computer screen and it looks absolutely nothing like the live rounds from the set of Rust.”

The Colt .45 rounds at the center of the dismissal were handed into the sheriff’s office on March 6 by Troy Teske, a friend of Thell Reed, the stepfather of Gutierrez, on the same day she was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for Hutchins’ death.
