Special prosecutor Kari Morrissey has decided not to appeal the dismissal of the involuntary manslaughter case against actor Alec Baldwin after the state attorney general decided he was not willing to pursue the appeal,

The special prosecutor in the Alec Baldwin manslaughter case is no longer appealing the dismissal. The Hollywood star was on trial earlier this year after a gun he handled went off and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

The appeal had asked the court to reinstate charges, including involuntary manslaughter, against Alec Baldwin.

The decision ends the criminal prosecution of the actor for the fatal shooting on a film set. During his trial, the judge dismissed the involuntary manslaughter charge against him.

Rust movie armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who was in charge of the prop guns on the Western project, was sentenced to 18 months in prison, the maximum penalty, in April. Director Joel Souza was also injured in the incident and later returned to complete filming Rust with Baldwin. The movie was released on Nov. 20.

Halyna Hutchins' family spoke out after a "Rust" prosecutor withdrew her notice of appeal against Alec Baldwin.

Alec Baldwin faces a civil lawsuit from Halyna Hutchins' family after the criminal case was dismissed due to withheld evidence. The family, represented by attorney Gloria Allred, seeks damages and accountability for the tragic shooting incident on the Rust film set in 2021.

The death of Hutchins was the first on-set fatal shooting with a live round mistaken for a dummy or blank round since Hollywood's silent era
