The judge in Alec Baldwin's criminal trial has denied a motion to revive the case.
The 66-year-old actor was standing trial in July over the death of Halyna Hutchins - who was fatally shot on the set of 'Rust' in 2021 - when Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the case after his legal team argued prosecutors had hidden evidence relating to the passing of the cinematographer, and Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer has now denied a motion from the prosecution to revive the case.
Special prosecutor Kari T Morrissey recently requested that the case be reconsidered. However, Judge Sommer has dismissed the request, noting that the motion exceeded a ten-page limit on briefs filed without permission.
In a statement given to PEOPLE, Morrissey - who was accused of direct involvement in the decision to withhold evidence - subsequently said: 'The ten-page motion has already been filed. I cannot comment beyond that.'
Baldwin was indicted by a New Mexico grand jury in January after the gun he was holding during a 2021 rehearsal on the set of Rust discharged, killing Hutchins and injuring the films director, Joel Souza.
