Alec Baldwin’s ‘Rust’ manslaughter case closed as prosecutor withdraws appeal

The involuntary manslaughter criminal case against Alec Baldwin over the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust has been dropped.

On Monday, special prosecutor Kari Morrissey announced that she had withdrawn her appeal of an order that dismissed the case.

However, as the attorney general expressed their reluctance to pursue the case, Morrissey said she was withdrawing her appeal.
