Hannah Gutierrez-Reed says the state misconduct that led to Alec Baldwin's case dismissal is 'exactly the evil' required to dismiss her case too
In a new motion filed Tuesday, Gutierrez-Reed’s defense lawyer Jason Bowles argued that “severe and ongoing discovery violations by the state” give Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer adequate grounds to overturn his client’s March 6 conviction, vacate her 18-month prison sentence, and dismiss her case forever.
“This Court stated on July 12 that the integrity of the judicial system demanded that the court dismiss Mr. Baldwin’s case with prejudice. How can it be any different with Ms. Gutierrez Reed’s case, with this proven litany of serious discovery abuses?” Bowles wrote in his new 35-page motion obtained by.
“Ms. Gutierrez-Reed’s trial strategy was built on the assumption that there was no evidence suggesting the gun may have been modified or damaged at the time the incident occurred. Had the state disclosed the third Haag report, Ms. Gutierrez-Reed could have used its content to sow reasonable doubt as to causation generally and foreseeability. Ms. Gutierrez-Reed never got the opportunity,” Bowles argued in his motion filed Tuesday.
