In the defense’s opening statements, Spiro said the prosecution’s attempt to prove Baldwin pulled the trigger did not make him guilty of homicide. The key to the fatal shooting was that others had loaded the prop gun with a live bullet and had cleared it as safe before the gun reached Baldwin.
The prop gun was later damaged during unnecessary testing from the prosecution and investigators, hindering the evidence in the case, Spiro said.
Further, Spiro played a video from the scene in question, in which Baldwin pulls a gun with the camera up close. In the video, he is in continual discussion with people off-camera about how to position himself and how to “whip out” the gun.

Are you retarded? That picture is from 1988 when he was 30. He's now 66.Quote:

SANTA FE, N.M. — Alec Baldwin‘s lawyers have filed a surprise motion asking that his manslaughter case be thrown out because the state failed to turn over a batch of bullets to the defense.
In a dramatic moment on Friday morning, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer donned a pair of blue gloves to open an envelope containing the bullets, and had them spread on a table. Though prosecutor Kari Morrissey had asserted that the bullets did not match the fatal round, at least some of them were Starline Brass rounds with silver primers — matching the characteristics of the live bullets found on the set of “Rust.”

At a hearing on the motion on Friday morning, prosecutor Kari Morrissey argued that detectives had determined early in the case that Teske’s bullets were not a match.
“This is a wild goose chase,” Morrissey said. “This has no evidentiary value whatsoever.”
Marlowe Sommer then asked to see the bullets. After opening the envelope, she had Marissa Poppell, the crime scene technician, go through them one by one.
Some of them were Colt rounds, and others were Winchesters. But some did have the distinctive Starline Brass logo — two stars joined by a crescent. Without further analysis, Poppell said she could not be certain that the bullets were an exact match for the fatal bullet.
Drama! To summarize the above as I understand it, the defense somehow found out that the prosecutor has bullets collected in the investigation that it had not, as required, given to the defense to inspect. The prosecutor said it did not matter because the bullets did not match the bullets that caused the death. The judge then asked to see the bullets. When inspected, some of the bullets appeared to be a match. Then the prosecutor said she had never looked at the bullets before. How then, you may wonder, as I'm sure the judge wondered, was the prosecutor so certain a few minutes before that the bullets did not match?
As with Certain Other high profile recent cases, the outcome in this case proves that our justice system still works, at least at the level of state courts.
Baldwin got away with murder.
There certainly is privilege in this country: far leftist Hollywood shithead privilege.
I haven't really kept up with any of this, but from the little bit I did read, it sounds like the prosecution botched the fuck out of the case.Quote:

I have a feeling the armorer isn’t going to be let out of jail even though presumably her defense didn’t have access to this evidence either.
He wasn't even charged with murder.Quote:

And this morning two attorneys on the prosecution team, including a special prosecutor provided by the state, resigned without explaining why, after delivering opening statements to the jury earlier this week. You think they both suddenly realized in the middle of the trial that they wanted to spend more time with their families?
The initial case against Baldwin, which was dropped before trial, and the case that was dismissed today were both plagued by multiple instances of prosecutorial misconduct.
