The trial against actor Alex Baldwin collapsed last month after just three days, creating unprecedented courtroom scenes with the prosecutor calling herself as a witness, and Baldwin breaking down in tears.
The involuntary manslaughter case against Hollywood star Alec Baldwin over a fatal shooting on the set of the film Rust was 'improperly dismissed' by the judge, the prosecutor says. The trial collapsed after just three days, based on testimony that police and prosecutors had withheld potential evidence from the defence. The actor was holding a gun which went off on the set in New Mexico in 2021, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza.
Rust armourer Hannah Gutierrez - who earlier this year was jailed for 18 months for her role in Ms Hutchins' death - has since asked a judge for a new trial on similar grounds, alleging there was 'extreme misconduct' by the prosecutor related to withheld evidence. Ms Morrissey has asked the judge to reject Gutierrez's request.
