“Consequently, we cannot proceed under the current time constraints and on the facts and evidence turned over by law enforcement in its existing form. We therefore will be dismissing the involuntary manslaughter charges against Mr. Baldwin to conduct further investigation,” they said. “This decision does not absolve Mr. Baldwin of criminal culpability and charges may be refiled. Our follow-up investigation will remain active and ongoing.”
The special prosecutors said the charges against Gutierrez-Reed “remain unchanged.” A status conference is scheduled for Friday.

I still maintain Baldwin should have checked the gun for rounds in it.
