Alec Baldwin Prosecutor Asks Judge to Revive ‘Rust’ Case, Hints at Appeal


The prosecutor in the 'Rust' trial asked the judge to reconsider her decision to throw out a charge against Alec Baldwin, and hinted at an appeal.

Kari Morrissey, the special prosecutor appointed to handle the “Rust” cases, argued that the defense had successfully “confused” Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer about the relevance of evidence that had been withheld. Marlowe Sommer ended the proceeding with blistering ruling on July 12, accusing the prosecutor of withholding bullets that had been turned over to the Sheriff’s Department months earlier. Morrissey asked that the defense be forced to reveal “all information regarding when and how” it learned of the rounds, “so that a full record can be made for the likely possibility of a review by a higher court.”
