Alec Baldwin’s defense team filed a motion dismiss his “Rust” manslaughter case on Friday, citing evidence which they said prosecutors had withheld from the defense.
The evidence in question is a collection of live ammunition rounds provided to prosecutors in March by retired Arizona police officer Troy Teske; this evidence was first mentioned during testimony in Baldwin’s trial on Thursday.
On Friday, Baldwin’s attorney Luke Nikas raised the matter again in a motion to have the case dismissed, asserting that the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s department failed on more than one occasion to inform the defense team it had possession of the bullets.
