Alec Baldwin's trial took a twist on Friday.
Alec Baldwin's lawyers accused prosecutors of hiding evidence in the involuntary manslaughter case.
The judge sent the jury home following the surprise motion to dismiss.
In a shocking moment on Friday, Alec Baldwin's lawyers accused prosecutors of hiding evidence in a surprise motion to dismiss his involuntary manslaughter case.
The evidence in question? Bullets that Baldwin's lawyers said prosecutors did not disclose and put under a different case number, The New York Times reported.
Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer donned latex gloves to examine the ammo before sending the jury home for the day.
"The State affirmatively concealed evidence … because the evidence would be favorable to Baldwin," the motion to dismiss reads.
Baldwin's lawyers argued the evidence could explain how live ammo ended up on the set of the movie "Rust," while lead prosecutor Kari Morrissey argued the bullets had "no evidentiary value whatsoever," according to The Times.
Following the defense's request, during a break in court, Baldwin and his wife Hilaria shared a lengthy embrace, People reported.
Baldwin is on trial in New Mexico for the shooting that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during a rehearsal for "Rust," a Western film he was bankrolling and starring in.
Baldwin's lawyers have said he didn't know there was a live bullet in the gun when it fired.
This is the second time Baldwin has faced charges in Hutchins' death. Prosecutors dropped an earlier case against Baldwin, but the case was reopened earlier this year.
The movie's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was already convicted of involuntary manslaughter and is serving an 18-month sentence. She is expected to be called as a witness in the case against Baldwin.
