Alec Baldwin Requests ‘Speedy Trial’ After New 'Rust' Shooting Charges
Alec Baldwin filed a legal response after being indicted for a second time in connection with a 2021 shooting on the 'Rust' set
Us Weekly can confirm that Baldwin’s legal team filed paperwork on Wednesday, January 24, emphasizing their “demand for speedy trial, discovery and exculpatory information, notice of defense intent to call witnesses.” Court documents stated that Baldwin, 65, hopes to “minimize public vilification and suspicion” with a quicker trial and to “avoid the hazards of proving his innocence that often arise after a lengthy delay in prosecution.” Baldwin was accused last year of not receiving required firearms training and not asking the movie’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, to show him that the gun did not contain live rounds.
