[CNN online has a good article](https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/13/entertainment/alec-baldwin-rust-trial-dismissed/index.html) today about the dismissal, goes through the three _Brady_ factors for analyzing whether withheld evidence should be grounds for dismissal, quotes the judge’s findings on each prong, and explains in layman’s terms what it all means; also notes that at the very least the armorer’s attorneys will be filing to have her case dismissed as well.

ETA: This whole screwed up case has put me in mind of what an acquaintance said about the OJ Simpson trial and verdict: “That’s what happens when the cops set out to frame a guilty man.”
