A New Mexico judge tossed out involuntary manslaughter charges against Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin on Friday in a stunning development.Baldwin was facing charges over the Oct. 2021 accidental shooting on the set of his movie "Rust" that took the life of 42-year-old cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza. Baldwin has maintained his innocence and even claimed at one point that he didn't even pull the trigger on the gun. 'The state is highly culpable for its failure to provide discovery to the defendant.' Baldwin's attorneys argued that prosecutors were hiding new evidence after they failed to hand over the evidence to the defense. The evidence were bullets that they said were relevant to the case. Lead prosecutor Kari Morrissey testified that she did not believe the bullets had evidentiary value, but the judge disagreed. “The state is highly culpable for its failure to provide discovery to the defendant,” Sommer said. “Dismissal with prejudice is warranted.”Baldwin broke down in tears after Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer made her decision. No new charges can be brought up against Baldwin. Baldwin could have faced up to 18 months in prison had he been convicted. This is a breaking story and will updated with additional information.

I arrived in Paris, France, for Samsung’s big Unpacked event a few days ago, fully prepared to use public transit to navigate the city to the various places I needed to be. This wasn’t my first time in Paris. I know where all the important stuff is and how easy it is to get around using public transportion, especially the metro. What changed since my last time here is how you purchase public transportion tickets in Paris. You no longer have to use ticket machines (though they still exist) if you have an iPhone or Android phone. Just load the right app and start adding tickets to your smartphone. You’ll then be able to simply tap your phone near a turnstile reader on the metro or a standard NFC reader in a bus or tram to scan your pass. The new feature was made available just in time for this summer’s big sporting event. If you’re traveling to Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in the coming weeks, you should expect big crowds everywhere. Many people will want to use public transit to get around. The ability to use an iPhone or Android device to quickly buy and scan tickets will be invaluable. In what follows, I’ll show you how easy it is to set this up on your iPhone and Apple Watch.
