if baldwin is found guilty too well, very scary. for him, because if he is found guilty, he couldn't get the same sentence that had a gutierrez re dot, which is up to 18 months. you could get the full 18 months, which would put him in jail just around a certain time that his reality show with his wife comes out next year. so that would be interesting. but more importantly in hollywood, that means that all of the safety procedures might probably be rewritten because right now there's nothing that hollywood that requires an actor that is handling a prop gun after he is told that there are no live rounds in the prop. going to double check it for himself, they're not. they're not immunization expert, so to speak. so if the alec baldwin is found guilty, i would imagine that you would see a lot of changes in hollywood when ever there is a, a feel or a tv series, using any type of prob, gone, and the type of safety mechanisms they would have to put in play moving for k j matthews in los angeles. thank you. thank you. and sports, spain has

at one point, baldwin himself, alec baldwin was being comforted by his own attorneys. he just left here just a short time ago each day in court, he has been arriving in a convoy with his family, with his lawyers well, years after this, he left without taking any questions. we reached out to the prosecution to determine whether or not they will be providing any type of comment we haven't heard thus far. the same goal because for the family of halyna hutchins, their representative attorney gloria allred's has been in court every day representing them, but wolf just a stunning, stunning development here on friday, we had expected this case to go at least another week. again, he had been charged with involuntary manslaughter. the penalty if convicted would have been 18 months in prison. alec baldwin will serve no oh, jail time. this trial is over. wolf. >> the judge has dismissed this entire case with prejudice, meaning that prosecutors could not bring back a very, very significant development. josh standby, want to bring in the attorney michael moore to get his analysis o

um, so alec baldwin, let's look forward.tried again, but he can face some civil lawsuits. what are those and how does that work? yes, there are wrongful death lawsuits that are proceeding. and, of course, those lawsuits have really been on hold pending the outcome of these criminal proceedings. so we could see those really accelerate now and see some outcomes. we don't have the same evidentiary rules in these civil cases that we do in criminal cases. so those are still going to proceed. and we could see some liability here. but, of course, the punishment in civil cases is money. monetary damages as opposed to prison time. and then let's look at hannah gutierrez—reed. she faces trial. what could this mean for her trial? well, her attorney has said tonight that he'll be moving for her immediate release from prison. and he's wanting to look at potential discovery violations in her trial that could lead to a new trial. and finally, you know, when you look at this, this again, puts the us legal system in the spotlight — in the gl

so the judge case against alec baldwin. so thejudge had to decide case against alec baldwin.the judge had to decide what to do. there were a number of hours of legal arguments in this. thejudge had to bring back witnesses to ask them questions and at the end of a number of tense hours�* waiting this afternoon, the judge decided to throw out this trial. she dismissed the case, and it was a real moment of emotion in court because alec baldwin was listening intently to all of this and at the moment that thejudge to all of this and at the moment that the judge said the case of being thrown out and dismissed, he burst into tears. he turned and hugged his legal team. he hugged his wife, who was also in tears too. and you just saw that huge emission and relief from him. he then left the courtroom pretty quickly. many press and reporters here were shouting questions at him. he didn�*t respond to any. he left in a car pretty quickly. the lead prosecutor — she came out, made a short statement to press, but there are many questions for her about why this case has been filled with errors

baldwin acted recklessly.'s elise preston is at the courthouse in santa fe. >> he pointed the gun at another human being. >> reporter: high drama as prosecutors laid out their case against actor alec baldwin. >> the evidence will show that someone who played make-believe with a real gun and violated the cardinal rules of firearm safety is the defendant, alexander baldwin. >> reporter: baldwin listened intently, taking notes as his family looked on during opening statements. >> it was just a prop. the gun has to be safe before it gets into the actor's hands. movie set safety rules require actors, like the defendant, to never point a firearm at another person. >> no one had any idea that this venomous, toxic element had been inserted into this magic they were created, but it did come at a changed lives forever. >> reporter: jurors today saw video from the crucial moments after cinematographer halyna hutchins was greatly wounded. >> can you open your eyes for me? >> reporter: baldwin has maintained his innocence,

but also alec baldwin, i mean, he is very well known. he's a vet very high profile celebrity, and that contend to complicate jury selection. what are you expecting to see tomorrow? jury selection is going to kick off laura, about 9:00 this morning or tomorrow morning here in santa fe. and one of the things that we he got to take away from the hannah gutierrez trial, which can give us a little bit of insight going forward here with alec baldwin trial is that they asked them about the media attention how much exposure they had to them media attention during the hannah gutierrez trial, they ask them about that, as well as their exposure to things that were said online and social schatz. so that's of course going to be a big part of the voir deir as they bring in first or going to bring in a panel of 79, and then they're going to weed through those but they have to they're going to get about 50 minutes to interview the potential jurors, and then they have another panel of 80 and then another panel of 80 after that. so a lot of questions prob

now it's just relating to alec baldwin's handling of the gun. the reason the judge came to that conclusion, she said she didn't understand how he could have been the actor and then also responsible for all of those safety failures when there's these contractual responsibilities that it simply didn't make sense and was too prejudicial. so that was a big win for the defense. >> all right. misty marris, more to come on this. thanks so much for your analysis there. still ahead. an urgent manhunt in london comes to an end after police tracked down the man accused of killing a bbc journalist, family so probably seen as host than shark week, short he's back who is the alpha male good chunk by chums, short. most of my john cena all this week at 8:00 discovery inch dream on that these bills are crazy she's no idea. >> she sitting on a goldmine. she doesn't know that if she owns a life insurance policy of $100,000 or more, she can sell all were part of it to coventry for cash, even a term policy, even a term policy? find out if you're sitting on a goldmin

i mean, just goes far beyond alec baldwin himself. there was another defendant who was sentenced, as you mentioned, the armorer who was on the set it was. convicted of involuntary manslaughter. her attorney already says that they are they were in the process of appealing her case. but in light of this new evidence that prosecutors and investigators we have withheld critical evidence ammunition that may have matched live rounds on that set. that is something that they are certainly looking into. they think that that bolsters their case finally, it's important to point out that this whole prosecution of alec baldwin has been riddled with issues from the very beginning. i mean, all of us remember, i was right here in santa fe early last year when the charges there's were first brought, they were later dismissed. authority said that, quote, new facts came to light. there was a special prosecutor on the case who email surfaced about her saying that essentially she's a legislator here in new mexico, that this case could be politically advan
