Watch: Alec Baldwin cries as shooting case tossed for good
Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin's indictment has been dismissed and he reportedly cannot be recharged after the actor accused state investigators of wrongdoing in a case involving the death of a cinematographer.
The stunning development came after Judge Mary Sommer sent jurors home. She found the state acted in bad faith and that there was wrongdoing by the prosecution.
As Sommer dismissed the case, a tearful Baldwin took his glasses off and buried his head into his hand. He then hugged his attorney.

The dismissal came after one of the two special prosecutors in the trial, prosecutor Erlindo Ocampo Johnson, resigned Friday in the middle of a long, dramatic hearing over how law enforcement treated bullets.
“The late discovery of this evidence has impacted the fundamental fairness of the proceedings,” Sommer said in dismissing the case, according to Hollywood Reporter. “There is no way for the court to right this wrong. The sanction of dismissal is the only warranted remedy."
