Alec Baldwin, lead actor and co-producer on 'Rust,' was pointing a gun at cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during a rehearsal when it went off, killing her and wounding director Joel Souza.

Alec Baldwin urged a New Mexico judge on Friday to stand by her decision to skuttle his trial and dismiss an involuntary manslaughter charge against the actor in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of a Western movie.

Prosecutors said they deemed the ammunition unrelated and unimportant, while Baldwin's lawyers alleged that they 'buried' it and filed a successful motion to dismiss the case.In her decision to dismiss the Baldwin case, Marlowe Sommer described 'egregious discovery violations constituting misconduct' by law enforcement and prosecutors, as well as false testimony about physical evidence by a witness during the trial.
