The judge overseeing actor Alec Baldwin’s manslaughter trial has halted Friday’s hearing (12) and sent the jury home for the day while she considers a new motion from the actor’s legal team.
Baldwin’s defense is asking for the case to be dismissed, saying prosecutors failed to properly hand over evidence.
In court a day earlier, a crime scene technician testified that a man had turned over ammunition to the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office in March after the conviction of “Rust” gunsmith Hannah Gutierrez Reed.
The man, Troy Teske, a retired police officer and friend of the gunsmith’s father, told investigators he believed the ammunition might be linked to the case, Marissa Poppell testified.
However, the technician testified that the items were cataloged separately from Baldwin’s case and were not included in the Rust case inventory or tested to see if they matched live ammunition.
Baldwin’s team argued that prosecutors failed to adequately disclose that evidence to the defense and asked that the case be dismissed.
