Baldwin Sues, Gutierrez-Reed Seeks Dismissal
News summary

Alec Baldwin is planning to sue New Mexico state prosecutor Kari Morrissey and Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza for allegedly withholding critical evidence during his trial for the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of 'Rust' in 2021. The involuntary manslaughter charges against Baldwin were dismissed after the judge found evidence had been concealed, including the source of the live round that killed Hutchins. Baldwin's legal team claims this evidence could have proven his lack of knowledge about the live ammunition. Concurrently, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the film's armorer who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter, has filed for her conviction to be dismissed or for a new trial, citing similar grounds of evidence suppression. Gutierrez-Reed's defense argues that the same misconduct that led to Baldwin's case dismissal should apply to her case. Prosecutor Kari Morrissey has promised a written response next week.
