Alec Baldwin filed a civil lawsuit against New Mexico prosecutors and sheriff's officials, alleging a malicious prosecution stemming from the 2021 fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The lawsuit follows the dismissal of Baldwin's criminal case due to evidence withholding by authorities.
Actor Alec Baldwin sued New Mexico prosecutors and sheriff's office officials on Thursday alleging a 'malicious' prosecution against him for the 2021 fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the Western movie Rust. Baldwin's attorneys say in the complaint that for the best part of three years, New Mexico officials pursued Baldwin for 'political' and 'personal' goals in a 'conspiracy' to bring him to trial.
The lawsuit, filed in a Santa Fe court, followed the dramatic dismissal of Baldwin's case during his July manslaughter trial in the New Mexico capital. A judge ruled the special prosecutor and sheriff's office deliberately withheld evidence from Baldwin on the source of a live round that killed Hutchins. The action against special prosecutor Kari Morrissey and others is among at least a dozen civil lawsuits filed over Hutchins's death, which shocked Hollywood and sparked calls for an overhaul of firearms safety on movie sets
