Alec Baldwin Sues New Mexico Officials Over Shooting

News summary

Alec Baldwin has filed a civil lawsuit in New Mexico against district attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies, special prosecutor Kari Morrissey, and others for malicious prosecution and civil rights violations related to the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of 'Rust'. Baldwin's lawsuit claims that prosecutors mishandled evidence and sought to scapegoat him for the incident, which resulted in the involuntary manslaughter charges being dropped last July. He alleges that they engaged in defamation and violations of the New Mexico Civil Rights Act while pursuing the case for personal or political gain. Baldwin's attorneys argue that the prosecution was blinded by a desire to convict him, regardless of the evidence. Morrissey has indicated that they look forward to defending their actions in court. Baldwin is seeking unspecified damages and accountability for what he describes as unlawful conduct during the prosecution process.
