Alec Baldwin shares emotional embrace with woman after jury was suddenly sent home

Central to the trial is the question of how a live bullet, rather than a dummy bullet, ended up in the weapon – and why there were live bullets on the film set in the first place. On July 11, following testimony from a crime scene technician Marissa Poppellthe defense filed a motion to dismiss the case on the grounds that prosecutors “hid” evidence from Baldwin regarding the ammunition on the set.

‘Baldwin was not aware of the risk that live ammunition had been brought to the set Rust,” The actor’s lawyers argued in the file obtained by RadarOnline.com, “To support its theory that Baldwin should have known of that risk, the state is attempting to establish a connection between Baldwin and the source of the live ammunition.”
