The judge dismissed the case with prejudice due to the state's failure to turn over evidence

• The defense uncovered that the special prosecutor did not disclose a cache of bullets that could have been relevant in understanding how live ammunition made its way onto the set
• The judge found the state "highly culpable" for failing to turn over the evidence and dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning it could not be refiled
• The elected D.A. in Santa Fe defended the special prosecutor, but the attorney general's office was sharply critical of her and said that appealing the judge's decision would have been "untenable"
