«We respect the court’s decision. We look forward to presenting all the evidence to a jury,» an attorney for Halyna Hutchins’ family says
Halyna Hutchins’ husband is still seeking justice for his late wife’s on-set death after the case against “Rust” actor and producer Alec Baldwin was thrown out on Friday.
Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the manslaughter charges after evidence emerged that police and prosecutors deliberately withheld live bullets from the defense, which were ostensibly relevant to the case (because the case was dismissed with prejudice, it cannot be re-tried).
“We respect the court’s decision. We look forward to presenting all the evidence to a jury and holding Mr. Baldwin accountable for his actions in the senseless death of Halyna Hutchins,” Brian J. Panish, an attorney for Matthew Hutchins, said in a statement to TheWrap on Friday.
“The late discovery of this evidence during trial has impeded the effective use of evidence in such a way that it has impacted the fundamental fairness of the proceedings.
