Alec Baldwin, who was accused of involuntary manslaughter before the case was dismissed last year, claims prosecutors were 'blinded by their desire' to convict him for 'all the wrong reasons'.
Alec Baldwin has filed a lawsuit against prosecutors who pursued a criminal charge against him after the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust. The Hollywood actor, who was the lead actor and co-producer of the Western film, was pointing a gun at Ms Hutchins when it fired in October 2021. The cinematographer was killed and director Joel Souza was wounded.
After the lawsuit was filed, Baldwin's lawyers Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro said in a joint statement: 'Criminal prosecutions are supposed to be about the search for truth and justice, not to pursue personal or political gain or harass the innocent. 'Kari Morrissey and the other defendants violated that basic principle, over and over, and trampled on Alec Baldwin's rights.
