Alec Baldwin Seeks to Throw Out Manslaughter Indictment, Citing ‘Abuse of the System’
Alec Baldwin's lawyers filed a motion Thursday to throw out his manslaughter indictment, arguing that prosecutors have abused the grand jury system.
Alec Baldwin ‘s lawyers asked a judge on Thursday to throw out his manslaughter case, accusing prosecutors of “violating nearly every rule in the book” in the course of obtaining the indictment. In the motion filed Thursday, Baldwin’s lawyers argue that the prosecution failed to make witnesses available to the grand jury who would have testified that it was not the actor’s duty to inspect the gun before the scene. The defense also alleges that Morrissey was quoted as an unnamed “source familiar with the case” by NBC News, stating that the prosecution would “humble” Baldwin and provide a “teachable moment.”
