Alec Baldwin’s Lawyers Slam “Corrupt” Prosecution After Latest Effort To Restart Dismissed ‘Rust’ Manslaughter Case – Update
Alec Baldwin may think his Rust legal woes are behind him but the Special Prosecutor has just launched a new appeal to drag him back to court
If Alec Baldwin thought he had put his legal woes from the fatal 2021 shooting of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins behind him, the special prosecutor still in charge of the matter once again wants the indie Western’s star and producer to know it ain’t over — at least not yet. 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.
