Santa Fe D.A. Affirms Support for ‘Rust’ Prosecutor Kari Morrissey After Alec Baldwin Case Thrown Out


The Santa Fe D.A. has affirmed her support for 'Rust' prosecutor Kari Morrissey, after Alec Baldwin's manslaughter case was dismissed with prejudice.

The district attorney in Santa Fe, N.M., has affirmed her support for “ Rust ” prosecutor Kari Morrissey, after the manslaughter case against Alec Baldwin was dismissed Friday due to withheld evidence. Morrissey remains in her role as the special prosecutor handling two cases against Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the “Rust” armorer who was convicted of manslaughter in March and is now serving an 18-month prison term. “There is no better advocate than Kari Morrissey to see the Hannah Gutierrez Reed cases through, and her appointment and oath are still in place,” Mary Carmack-Altwies, the First Judicial District Attorney, said in a statement on Monday.
