    Ireland Baldwin posted a sweet throwback photo of herself as a toddler with dad Alec Baldwin after his involuntary manslaughter case was stunningly dismissed.

    The snap, which Ireland, 28, captioned with a simple black heart emoji, has gotten more than 15,000 likes, including one from actress Melanie Griffith. Baldwin shares Ireland with ex Kim Basinger.

    Baldwin, 66, and his wife, Hilaria, 40, wept and embraced in the courtroom after a New Mexico judge dropped the involuntary manslaughter charges against him Friday in the fatal 2021 “Rust” shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

    Soap opera star Eric Braeden, 83, who has long been a fixture of CBS’ “The Young and the Restless” and who had followed the trial from the start and supported Baldwin, wrote on X:

    “Am very happy for ALEC BALDWIN! Anyone who has ever been on a set where guns are used, knows damn well that the armorer ( prop person) shows the actor an empty gun, Devoid of ANY BULLETS!! Period!! And the second in command responsible is the AD!”

    NYU professor and podcaster Scott Galloway wrote on Threads that the prosecution of Baldwin was “a weak/weird attempt to put the patriarchy on trial—rich, old, white guy. Case should never have been brought.”

    Had he been convicted, Baldwin faced up to 18 months behind bars for firing the gun that shot and killed Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza.

    During Friday’s proceedings, the judge slammed prosecutors for “willfully” withholding key ammunition evidence from the defense.

    Miami Herald reporter Julie K. Brown, who broke the Jeffrey Epstein case, put her thoughts in succinct perspective on X:

    “Our criminal justice system is f—–g messed up when it goes after Alec Baldwin for an obvious accident yet gives a monster like Jeffrey Epstein a big time pass for molesting countless children.”
