Alec Baldwin’s Attorneys Claim Prosecutor Hid Proof Gun Was Damaged
Alec Baldwin's lawyers have filed a fourth motion to dismiss his manslaughter indictment, claiming an exculpatory report was withheld.
Alec Baldwin ‘s lawyers have filed a fourth motion to throw out his manslaughter indictment, alleging that the prosecutor withheld exculpatory evidence showing that his Colt .45 revolver was damaged at the time of a fatal accident. Baldwin’s defense accuses prosecutor Kari Morrissey of improperly withholding an expert’s report showing “unexplained toolmarks” on the gun’s sear — the portion of the trigger that holds the hammer in place. Baldwin’s lawyers are seeking to throw out the case for two other reasons — first, because the FBI destroyed the gun, and second, because they claim the circumstances do not meet the legal standard for involuntary manslaughter in New Mexico.
