Alec Baldwin’s ‘Rust’ Prosecutor Wants a Second Chance

The prosecutor in Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter case, related to a shooting on the set of 'Rust,' wants a judge to cancel her dismissal.

Kari Morrissey, the lead special prosecutor in the recently dismissed involuntary manslaughter case against Alec Baldwin, wants a second chance. The lawyer filed a petition on Wednesday to Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer to reconsider her decision to abandon the case, alleging that defense attorneys had pulled one over on her, according to Variety. Morrissey’s team had argued that Baldwin was pointing a gun, loaded with live bullets, at Hutchins when it went off, killing her and injuring director Joel Souza.
