Alec Baldwin Gives First Statement On ‘Rust’ Verdict

Alec Baldwin has given his first statement on a New Mexico judge’s dismissal of involuntary manslaughter charges against him.

“There are too many people who have supported me to thank just now,” the actor wrote around 12:30 p.m. alongside a photo of himself in the Santa Fe courtroom.

“To all of you, you will never know how much I appreciate your kindness toward my family,” he added.

Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer ruled on Friday that the charges against Baldwin related to HalynaHutchins’ death should be dropped.

The court also determined that Baldwin could not be recharged in the case, ending the criminal proceedings against him.
