Nearly three years after Alec Baldwin accidentally shot 'Rust' cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, prosecutor asks judge to take another look at the manslaughter case against the actor.
Defending the state's handling of the 'Rust' shooting case, New Mexico special prosecutor Kari T. Morrissey has asked the judge to take another look at the circumstances that prompted the dismissal of Alec Baldwin's manslaughter charge. In a court filing Friday, Morrissey asked New Mexico First Judicial Circuit Court Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer to reconsider her decision to throw out Baldwin's manslaughter case.
In her 52-page motion, Morrissey argued that defense attorneys knew more about the Teske rounds than she did. She wrote the situation surrounding the rounds did not rise to a level that warranted Marlowe Sommer's dismissal of the case with prejudice, meaning it could not be refiled. Morrissey asserted that the tardy disclosure of the Teske rounds did not hamper Baldwin's defense because his attorneys apparently knew about the ammunition before the trial.
