Alec Baldwin's Misconduct Suit Against New Mexico Authorities Dismissed for Failure to Prosecute
A judge on Wednesday dismissed Alec Baldwin's misconduct suit against authorities in New Mexico, after Baldwin's side failed to pursue the case. Baldwin filed the 73-page complaint in January, alleging that prosecutor Kari Morrissey and others trampled on his rights in seeking to hold him accountable for the fatal shooting of 'Rust' cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. More from Variety Alec Baldwin to Host 'The Ides of April' Audio Drama 'Rust' Armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed Released on Parole After 14 Months Alec Baldwin, Heather Graham, Simon Baker Among Hollywood Stars Heading to Filming Italy Sardegna But in the months since, Baldwin's lawyers have done nothing to prosecute the civil case — failing even to file a notice that the defendants had been served. Judge Casey Fitch ordered the case dismissed without prejudice, meaning it could be reinstated if the plaintiffs seek to revive it. 'We have been in good faith discussions with the parties to the lawsuit and will be refiling promptly if those discussions are not promptly and favorably resolved,' said Baldwin's lawyer, Luke Nikas, in a statement. Under New Mexico law, a case can be dismissed for failure to prosecute if no action is taken within six months. Baldwin went on trial in July 2024 for involuntary manslaughter. Prosecutors alleged that he engaged in criminal negligence by pointing a gun at Hutchins and pulling the trigger during preparation for a scene, in violation of written set safety rules. Baldwin's defense argued that he could not have known that the gun was loaded, and that it was not his job to make sure that it was safe. The criminal case was dismissed three days into the trial, after Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer ruled that Morrissey had improperly withheld evidence from the defense. The D.A.'s office sought to appeal that ruling, but were met with resistance from the state attorney general, who would have had to take up the case for reinstating the prosecution. The D.A.'s office ultimately dropped the appeal in December. Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the film's armorer, was released from prison in May after serving 14 months. Several civil cases remain pending, including one filed by Hutchins' widower and another brought by her parents.

Amy Bradley's Brother Slams 'Toxic' Critics After Netflix Doc Release
Originally appeared on E! Online Amy Bradley's brother is not here for conspiracy theories. After Amy Bradley Is Missing hit Netflix July 16, the subject's brother, Brad Bradley, slammed the public's response to the series, which he says includes 'toxic' accusations thrown at his family after a friend featured in the documentary claimed they did not accept Amy's sexuality. 'Me and my family are getting killed,' Brad told People in a statement July 30. 'Over the years, we've grown some pretty thick skin, because there's always that side, you have the side of prayers, and support, and love, and caring, and all that good stuff. And then you have people just trying to chew us up and spit us out.' Indeed, Brad—who, along with parents Iva Bradley and Ron Bradley, participated in the Netflix miniseries—expressed disappointment that some people online have run with the theory that the now 51-year-old died by suicide. 'The picture that's being painted online is that I'm this [Donald] Trump-supporting, racist homophobe, and of course she killed herself,' he continued. 'Why would, you know, how could she live with a family like that?' More from E! Online Olympian Laura Dahlmeier Dead at 31 After Climbing Accident Left Rescuers Unable to Reach Her Jinger Duggar's Husband Jeremy Vuolo Details 'Deep Betrayal" During Marriage Sharon Osbourne Breaks Down in Tears at Ozzy Osbourne's Funeral Procession Brad, now 47, also shut down those examining Amy's feelings around her sexuality when she isn't around to speak for herself, noting that while the documentary portrayed her as gay, he says she identified as bisexual. 'Again, that's not me trying to argue she didn't like women,' he added. 'My point was she wasn't just gay. She was bisexual, had plenty of guys she dated over the years, and girls too." In fact, Brad claimed that Amy, who was 23 when she went missing, had a boyfriend at the time she vanished in 1998, despite the detail she had written a letter to her ex girlfriend Mollie McClure about a month before the cruise. 'He was an awesome dude, very successful guy, loved our family, spent a lot of time with us,' Brad, who declined to reveal the man's identity to protect his privacy, said. 'I do believe she had some intention of rekindling things with Mollie when she had returned, hence the message in the bottle, a month prior to the cruise.' As for whether Amy's family accepted her sexual identity, Brad noted that his sister had come out to them three years before she vanished, and emphasized that the dust had settled on the subject. As he put it, 'That was well gotten over.'
