Prosecutor Who Resigned Alec Baldwin ‘Rust’ Case Speaks Out On Her Reasons


Prosecutor Erlinda Ocampo Johnson said she just became aware of certain evidence.

The alleged horseplay saw Baldwin using another person as a target for blanks, according to Johnson, who told NewsNation, “You don’t do that with real guns.” Discovering the withheld evidence, Johnson felt compelled to withdraw before the court hearing. The verdict ends a nearly three-year legal case after the fatal shooting on the set of the movie Rust in October 2021.
