Alec Baldwin Sues New Mexico Officials Over 'Rust' Case Dismissal, Alleging Evidence Withholding
Jan 10, 2025, 02:56 AM
Actor Alec Baldwin has filed a civil lawsuit against New Mexico prosecutors and sheriff's office officials, alleging malicious prosecution and civil rights violations following the July dismissal of his involuntary manslaughter case related to the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the Western movie 'Rust.' The lawsuit, filed in Santa Fe, names special prosecutor Kari Morrissey, Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies, and several investigators as defendants. Baldwin claims that the prosecution deliberately withheld evidence, including a cache of bullets that might have been connected to the live round that killed Hutchins. The lawsuit accuses the defendants of targeting Baldwin as a scapegoat for the actions of others, motivated by professional or political gain. The case against Baldwin was dismissed in July after it was revealed that evidence was withheld, and the state attorney general declined to appeal the dismissal in December.
