Alec Baldwin asks judge to dismiss charges in fatal ‘Rust’ shooting

LA Times  

Alec Baldwin speaks with investigators after the fatal shooting on the “Rust” set in Santa Fe, N.M., in 2021. Alec Baldwin has asked a New Mexico judge to dismiss involuntary manslaughter charges against him in the deadly “Rust” movie shooting, alleging misconduct by prosecutors who have overseen the long-running case. In the motion, Baldwin’s lead attorney, Luke Nikas, accused special prosecutors Kari T. Morrissey and Jason J. Lewis of conducting a “sham” grand jury proceeding against Baldwin earlier this year. During Gutierrez’s trial, prosecutors introduced evidence that suggested Baldwin might also share responsibility for the tragedy by allegedly acting carelessly when handling his prop gun. After receiving Haag’s report and the behind-the-scenes video from the movie production, Morrissey and Lewis shifted gears, announcing last fall that they would take Baldwin’s case to the grand jury.
