A New Mexico prosecutor has withdrawn her appeal of the dismissed involuntary manslaughter case against Alec Baldwin, officially ending the years-long criminal case against the "Rust" actor in the 2021 on-set shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
In a filing Monday with the 1st Judicial District Court of New Mexico, special prosecutor Kari Morrissey wrote that the state attorney general informed her that it would "dismiss its appellate efforts if the reviewing court did not recommend summary reversal."
