The judge in Alec Baldwin's manslaughter case in New Mexico is ripping prosecutors for misconduct, which she says prevented the actor from preparing his defense.

In new docs, obtained by TMZ, the judge who dismissed the case against Alec says the prosecution "intentionally and deliberately" withheld evidence from Baldwin's legal team ... namely, live ammunition found on the "Rust" movie set matching the live bullet that killed Halyna Hutchins.

Remember ... during the trial, police investigator Marissa Poppell testified her superiors instructed her to create a report documenting that police had received ammunition and to file it under a different case number than the "Rust" case ... so it wouldn't be visible to the defense.
