Fri Mar 07 00:30:00 UTC 2025: **Alec Baldwin’s ‘Rust’ Manslaughter Case Dismissed; Wife Shows Support**

SANTA FE, NM – Alec Baldwin’s involuntary manslaughter trial stemming from the fatal 2021 shooting on the set of “Rust” ended abruptly on its third day after the judge dismissed the case with prejudice. The dismissal followed claims by Baldwin’s legal team that prosecutors withheld evidence. Baldwin, who faced up to 18 months in prison, had pleaded not guilty. He maintained he did not pull the trigger and was unaware the prop gun contained live ammunition.

Meanwhile, Hilaria Baldwin, Alec’s wife, revealed on TLC’s “The Baldwins” how she supported her husband during the trial. She presented him with anniversary gifts – a St. Michael necklace, symbolizing protection, and a silk scarf featuring the saint – two days before the trial began. Hilaria expressed her unwavering support, stating she would be with him in spirit regardless of her physical presence in New Mexico. Alec, in turn, gifted Hilaria pearl earrings and a card expressing hope for rebuilding their lives after the trial. Although the necklace proved too small, Hilaria emphasized the importance of faith in navigating difficult times.
