Prosecutors sought to appeal Themis’ decision to dismiss Baldwin’s involuntary manslaughter charges. The case even reached a jury trial due to procedural issues. In the end, the prosecutor admitted that further promotion of the complaint was futile.
The actor’s lawyers said that the decision to withdraw the appeal finally confirms what they assured from the beginning – “the incident on the set was an unspeakable tragedy, but Alec Baldwin did not commit any crime.”

42-year-old Halyna Hutchins was shot with a gun that Baldwin used during a rehearsal for the western “Rust”, which was filmed in New Mexico. As a result of the incident, director Joel Souza was also injured.
