Judge pushes decision to next week on Alec Baldwin's indictment in fatal 2021 shooting

Hindustan Times  

SANTA FE, N.M. — A New Mexico judge plans to rule next week on a grand jury indictment against Alec Baldwin in the fatal shooting on the set of “Rust," after hearing arguments Friday that the proceedings were unfair to the defendant. “They never wanted the grand jury to ask for exhibits.” Special prosecutors say they followed grand jury protocols and accuse Baldwin of “shameless” attempts to escape culpability, highlighting contradictions in his statements to law enforcement, to workplace safety regulators and in a televised interview. An alternative is to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Baldwin caused Hutchins’ death without “due caution” or “circumspection,” also defined as “an act committed with total disregard or indifference for the safety of others.” Defense attorneys also accused prosecutors of making little to no effort to ensure the jury could access several witnesses, including the film's director, as well as assistant director and safety coordinator Dave Halls and props master Sarah Zachry. Defense attorneys say Baldwin last year was offered a deal to plead to a “minor offense” before a grand jury was convened, but the offer that was “inexplicably retracted” before the deadline to respond.
