Alec Baldwin Could Be Back In Court Soon Over Fatal ‘Rust’ Shooting Thanks To New Appeal Effort By Prosecutor

deadline.com:

If Alec Baldwin thought he had put his legal woes from the fatal 2021 shooting of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins behind him, the special prosecutor still in charge of the matter once again wants the indie Western’s star and producer to know it ain’t over — at least not yet. “The State of New Mexico, by and through Special Prosecutor, Kari T.

Morrissey, appeals to the New Mexico Court of Appeals from the Court’s Order Granting Defendant Alec Baldwin’s Expedited Motion for Dismissal and Sanctions …filed on July 31, 2024 and from the Court’s Order Denying State’s Amended Motion to Reconsider Dismissal with Prejudice filed on October 24, 2024, copies of which are attached hereto,” declares a one-page notice from Morrissey filed on November 21 and made public this morning.

While this may be another Hail Mary by Morrissey after repeated rebuffs by Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer since dismissing the involuntary manslaughter case against the 30 Rock star just a few days into his July trial because of evidence suppression, it also once again finds Baldwin under a judicial Sword of Damocles.

Hutchins was killed, and director Souza was injured, on October 21, 2021 after the Colt .45 Baldwin was pointing at the cinematographer fired off a live round during a rehearsal on Rust.
