Alec Baldwin’s ‘Rust’ Manslaughter Case Finally Over As Appeal Withdrawn By Prosecutor – Update

A month after Special Prosector Karri Morrissey tried again to revive the matter, which was dismissed just a few days into trial this summer over suppressed evidence, the office of the Land of Enchantment’s Attorney General Raul Torrez decided today not to “pursue the appeal of behalf of the prosecution.” Oddly, with the appeal notice lodged last week, Baldwin has been talking to press at some length about the case, the trial and the resurrection of the Joel Souza-directed film with what can be assumed, the knowledge he may find himself in legal jeopardy once again over what went down over three years ago at the Bonanza Creek Ranch set of Rust. Potentially compounding that is the not very well disguised mocking of Morrissey that Baldwin and his NYC defense team have engaged in over the distinguished and dogged Albuquerque, New Mexico lawyer before the actor’s trial and over the various legal machinations in the months since it was tossed out by a clearly annoyed Judge Sommer.
