Alec Baldwin ‘s asking the court not to reconsider its dismissal of the New Mexico criminal case against him over the fatal 2021 “Rust” shooting … saying the state’s conduct was egregious.
The actor’s lawyers — Alex Spiro and Luke Nikas — put in the motion asking the court to deny the prosecution’s request to reconsider its decision to dismiss the case against Baldwin … saying prosecutors have presented no new evidence as to why this case should move forward.
Baldwin’s lawyers lay out the whole narrative of the trial as they see it … saying the state’s egregious misconduct in concealing certain ammunition evidence merited dismissal of the case — and they urge the court to stand by that decision.
The trial ended with a shocking dismissal in July after it came out that prosecutors withheld certain live ammo evidence from Baldwin’s lawyers. “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed on set in October 2021 by a bullet fired from a prop gun.
Police investigator Marissa Poppell testified she was directed to place the evidence in a file with a different case number from the “Rust” file — which Baldwin’s lawyers say amounted to essentially hiding the evidence.
