Alec Baldwin Sues New Mexico Officials for Malicious Prosecution, Civil Rights Violations in 'Rust' Shooting Case
Jan 10, 2025, 06:19 AM
Actor Alec Baldwin has filed a civil lawsuit in Santa Fe against New Mexico prosecutors and law enforcement officials involved in the prosecution related to the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the Western movie 'Rust.' The lawsuit accuses the defendants, including special prosecutor Kari Morrissey and Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies, of malicious prosecution, defamation, and civil rights violations. Baldwin alleges that the prosecutors and investigators intentionally mishandled evidence and pursued him as a 'scapegoat' for the acts and omissions of others. The lawsuit follows the dismissal of the involuntary manslaughter charge against Baldwin in July, which was based on allegations that evidence was withheld from his legal team. Baldwin is seeking compensatory and punitive damages.
