Alec Baldwin celebrates 'Rust' trial dismissal at New Mexico hotel party
SANTE FE, N.M. Elated actor Alec Baldwin feted the abrupt dismissal of his involuntary manslaughter case Friday at his swanky New Mexico hotel bar before enjoying dinner at a popular local Mexican restaurant in Santa Fe.
Baldwin took an SUV a short distance from the courthouse to the El Dorado Hotel and quickly took a seat near the bar, where he celebrated with his wife, Hilaria, and his sprawling legal team, including Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro.
His brother, Stephen, soon joined him.

The joyous scene was captured by a camera crew who appeared to be connected to a documentary in the works by filmmaker Rory Kennedy, who was also present.
Clearly relieved by Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer’s shock ruling in the Santa Fe First Judicial District Court that ended his three-year legal slog, Baldwin chatted breezily with well-wishers while nursing a pint of beer.
HIlaria was equally ebullient, conversing with several of the congregants and smiling widely.

The actor changed out of the suit he wore to court, donning a black T-shirt, blue blazer and blue slacks before heading out to dine at nearby Casa Chimayo with his brother, Stephen, and others in his entourage.
Hilaria, who sobbed in court after the ruling before hugging her spouse, joined the party later on in the evening.

The next day, Baldwin generously tipped the hotel staff, then took an SUV to the Albuquerque airport and hopped on a private plane back to Teterboro Airport in New Jersey.
Baldwin accidentally shot and killed Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza on the set of the Western film “Rust” in 2021.

Prosecutors argued that he flouted basic gun safety rules and that his negligence led to Hutchins’ death.
But his attorneys argued for dismissal on the grounds that prosecutors failed to turn over key evidence in the case.

The judge agreed that special prosecutor Kari Morrissey had failed to disclose a batch of live rounds that had been turned into the local sheriff’s office by a retired police officer who said they came from the same batch as the bullet that killed Hutchins.
Baldwin had faced up to 18 months in prison if convicted.

The Nevada women’s basketball team dropped its final home contest of the 2025-26 season on Saturday with New Mexico spoiling Senior Day and pushing past the Wolf Pack for a 63-56 win.
The Wolf Pack led 36-34 at halftime behind a hot-shooting start. Skylar Durley, Imbie Jones and Ahrray Young each had six points as Nevada shot 14-of-25 from the field (56%). But things cooled off in the second half, with the Lobos outscoring the Wolf Pack 19-13 in the third quarter to take a four-point lead into the fourth. Nevada’s shooting woes only worsened in the final period when it made just three field goals, including none in the final four minutes.
Durley led Nevada with 16 points and six rebounds. Young finished with 10 points, three rebounds and three assists. The Wolf Pack made just one three-pointer out of its nine attempts.
The loss drops Nevada to 9-20 overall, 5-14 within the Mountain West Conference. The Wolf Pack now heads to Utah State for Tuesday’s regular-season finale before opening the Mountain West Tournament play next Saturday in Las Vegas.
