‘Rust’ Prosecutor Appeals Dismissal of Alec Baldwin Manslaughter Charge


The 'Rust' prosecutor appealed a judge's decision to throw out a manslaughter charge against Alec Baldwin.

The one-page filing did not articulate the grounds for the appeal, but prosecutor Kari Morrissey has previously argued that the judge was misled and confused by Baldwin’s defense team. Baldwin went on trial in Santa Fe, N.M., in July, on the allegation that he was criminally negligent when he pointed a gun at cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and pulled the trigger. Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer threw out the case with prejudice on the third day of the trial, after learning that the prosecution had failed to turn over a cache of bullets to the defense.
