New Mexico special prosecutors have dropped charges against actor Alec Baldwin in the shooting death of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, marking what legal experts said was a logical conclusion to a flawed prosecution.The move on Friday followed new evidence about the gun Baldwin was holding when it fired the bullet that killed Hutchins during the movie’s filming, a person close to state prosecutors said.The information further undermined the prosecution’s case after a series of legal fumbles, pushing them to dismiss charges in advance of a May 3 hearing where a judge was to decide whether there was sufficient evidence to try Baldwin and Rust armourer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.
