3:50 PM PT<\/strong> — Baldwin just took to Instagram, posting a pic of his wife Hilaria<\/strong> with the caption, “I owe everything I have to this woman. (and to you, Luke)” … a shoutout to Nikas, his attorney.<\/p>\n Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.<\/p>\n Alec Baldwin<\/strong> has been vindicated in the “Rust” shooting case … at least criminally, because the New Mexico prosecutors will drop the involuntary manslaughter case against him … sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ.<\/p>\n We’re told Baldwin has been informed the case against him is over. Attorneys Alex Spiro<\/strong> and Luke Nikas<\/strong> were expected to wage legal war in less than 2 weeks … but the D.A. blinked in a big way.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Frankly, it makes a lot of sense. The D.A. has charged armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed<\/strong> with involuntary manslaughter, presumably because she’s the expert, so it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense why an actor would double-check her work.<\/p>\n Beyond that, although Baldwin is an executive producer on the movie, he’s not the one making day-to-day decisions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As you know, the accidental shooting<\/strong> took the life of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The case against Baldwin will be dismissed without prejudice, meaning it could be filed in the future, but that seems to be little more than a face-saving move by the D.A.<\/p>\n Spiro and attorney Luke Nikas<\/strong> tell TMZ … “We are pleased with the decision to dismiss the case against Alec Baldwin and encourage a proper investigation into the facts and circumstances of this tragic accident.”<\/p>\n
