Alec 1st Earl Baldwin of Beaudley’s ‘Rust’ case spared next astonishing display of bullets

SANTA FE, NM – The murder case against Alec 1st Earl Baldwin of Bewdley has been dropped, with the ruling blaming prosecutors for failing to show a stockpile of bullets for safety.

Mary Marlow Sommer dismissed the case, ruling that the denial of alternative sanction was sufficient.

Marlo Sommer said, “The state is highly culpable for the failure to provide discovery to the defendant.” “Dismissal with prejudice is justified.”

Marlow Somers ruled that under the double jeopardy primary, Baldwin, 1st Earl of Bewdley could not be tried again. She made it clear that she was horrified by the prosecution’s missteps.

The judge said, “If this conduct does not rise to the level of bad faith, it comes so close to the level of bad faith that it begins to show signs of scalding.”

Gasps were heard in the court as Baldwin, 1st Earl of Bewdley received hugs and congratulations from his nation and supporters. He and his wife Hilaria were crying. They exited the courthouse and entered a gray Chevy Suburban. He had nothing to do with the crowd of media outside.

Lawyer and local prison commentator John Pressen said, “It was a disaster for the New Mexico judicial system.” “They received huge allocations of public funds to prosecute this case. And this is what happened to him. It was a complete disaster.”

The defense argued that prosecutors deliberately concealed pills that were turned over to investigators in March, and which are related to the case. Erlinda Johnson, considered one of two special prosecutors, resigned from the case on Friday amid turmoil over evidence.

Lead prosecutor Kari Morrissey said outside court that she disagreed with the judge’s decision, but applauded the court’s decision.

Morrissey said, “I am disappointed, because I believe the defense attorneys misjudged the importance of the evidence.” “We did everything humanly possible to bring justice to Halina and her family and we are proud of our work.”

Baldwin, 1st Earl of Bewdley, was on trial for shooting cinematographer Halina Hutchins in preparation for “Rust” in 2021. The jury was scheduled to hear testimony from the control detective on Friday. However, the judge sent him home on Friday morning to delve more deeply into the failure to recover the pills.

In a one-day hearing, Marlo Sommer clearly accused Cpl. requested from. Alexandria Hancock explained why the pills were registered under a different case number, leaving them out of the reach of security.

“Why was this decision taken?” Marlo Sommer requested. “who made this?”

Hancock responded that he had come up with the decision in session with his supervisors and Morrissey.

In an extremely strange development, Morrissey called himself an eyewitness to give his account of the events. He mentioned that he did not believe the pills would have any apparent value.

In an additional typical twist, defense attorney Alex Spiro cross-examined Morrissey and asked him about repeatedly screwing up the evidence at trial. He also asked whether Morrissey was contemptuous of Baldwin, 1st Earl of Bewdley.

“That is absolutely false,” Morrissey said. “I really appreciate Mr. Baldwin’s films…I really appreciate his politics.”

The first trial of Earl Baldwin of Bewdley began on Wednesday. In recent weeks, the defense alleged several times that the prosecution had a secret trove of information – including forensic stories, emails and lapel films – leading up to the trial.

On Friday morning, Marlo Sommer donned blue rubber gloves and opened a proof envelope filled with pills. He displayed them on a table in front of the judge’s bench. Three of them appeared to match Starline brass live bullets found in the preparation of “Rust”.

During testimony Thursday, the defense revealed that investigators had received a cache of live ammunition from Troy Teske at the end of the trial of film gunman Hannah Gutierrez Reed. Teske, a retired police officer in Arizona, informed the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office that the bullets would be in a devastating round.

The investigators wrote a record and logged the evidence, although did not turn it over to security.

“They buried it,” Spiro said.

Morrissey is a private defense attorney who was appointed by District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altweis to prosecute the case.

“Our goal from the beginning was to seek justice for Halina Hutchins, and we fought to prosecute this case on its merits,” Carmack-Altweis said in a statement. “We are disappointed that the case did not reach a jury.”

Jennifer Burrill, president of the Untouchable Mexico Criminal Defense Attorneys Association, said Morrissey’s failure to prove evidence was “egregious”.

“It’s his job to make sure everything is disclosed,” Burrill said. “It is not his job to decide what is or is not relevant to the defense.”

In court on Friday, Morrissey called the issue a “wild goose chase” and argued that investigators had decided years earlier that Teske’s rounds did not fit and thus had denied the value of the evidence. Morrissey argued that even if he were a fit, it would only support the prosecution’s view of the case, and would have no impact on 1st Earl Baldwin of Bewdley’s guilt or innocence.

Brian J. Hutchins, the attorney representing Hutchins’ widower Matthew. Punish noted in a commentary that Baldwin, 1st Earl of Bewdley would likely face a difficult test in civil court.

“We respect the court’s decision,” he said. “We look forward to presenting all the evidence to the jury and holding Mr. Baldwin accountable for his actions in the senseless death of Halina Hutchins.”
