The New Mexico state authorities have dropped the involuntary manslaughter charges against a high profile media personality. The state has considered other charges though.
But the most serious charges would have put him in the iron college for 25 years.
I guess the special prosecutor appearing on Fox kind of destroyed the case against actor Alec Baldwin.
Andrea Reeb's appearance on Sean "Softball" Hannity's shitshow may have tarnished the case. Her appearance was a gift to Baldwin's attorneys who said the charges were a political hit job. Baldwin is remorseful and was willing to settle with Halyna Hutchins' family.
Baldwin has lost endorsement deals had two shows canceled and his podcast is ending soon. He has been low key on social media. Even a former ally is working on behalf of Hutchins' family to sue him.
Some "new facts were revealed that demand further investigation and forensic analysis cannot be completed before" a schedule preliminary hearing on May 3," according to a filing by special prosecutors Jason Lewis and Mari Morrissey.
The brief filing did not state what "new facts" prompted the case to be pulled.
Halyna Hutchins.
Prosecutors had the case dismissed "without prejudice," meaning any new evidence could prompt them to re-file charges.
Even if the Baldwin is never held accountable in a criminal trial, attorney Gloria Allred, representing loved ones of Hutchins, said their civil complaint against the actor will continue.
"Despite the prosecutor’s decision to dismiss the criminal charge against Alec Baldwin without prejudice, the victims of Alec Baldwin that we represent remain hopeful," Allred said in a statement on Friday. "Mr. Baldwin has tried to dismiss our civil case against him, and he has failed."
Allred added: "He has even sunk so low as to attack Halyna Hutchins’ grieving mother, father, and sister for seeking to make him accountable for his part in the death of Halyna Hutchins."
While Baldwin appears to be off the hook for criminal charges, his former co-defendant Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the "Rust" set's armorer, is still being prosecuted. She's accused of involuntary manslaughter and her preliminary hearing was set Friday for Aug. 9.
Meanwhile, filming of "Rust" continued Friday in Montana.
"Though bittersweet, I am grateful that a brilliant and dedicated new production team is joining former cast and crew to complete what Halyna and I started," director Joel Souza, who was wounded in the 2021 shooting, said in a statement issued by "Rust" producers.
"My every effort on this film will be devoted to honoring Halyna’s legacy and making her proud."
Producers have said they are barring any working weapons and ammunition on the set.
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Emotional Alec Baldwin.
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence, monkeypox and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.
I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth.
When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege. This good guy with a gun nonsense has to end. The cops didn't do nothing when children were shot inside a school. A security guard was shot dead trying to protect shoppers. A cop accidentally shot his own. The good guy who tried to stop a bad guy is outgunned and a part of the rule #3.
Remember #3 means: The "good guy with a gun" better be prepared to die if they want to stop a shooter.
I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you. We lost over 1 million people from the coronavirus.
I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult. I am also tired of scapegoating Black on Black crime, Chicago, Baltimore and Democratic mayors for the nation's obsession to be numb to gun violence. You pretty much enable this nonsense by deflecting.
President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However one Democrat and one independent who caucuses with the Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back.
Conservatives are outraged that Alec Baldwin walks.
The National Rifle Association is always pushing against it. They will not relinquish from the narrative that guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street. It makes no sense.

The call number to the U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official phone number, 202-224-3121. Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
