Alec Baldwin’s legal team has filed new motions to dismiss the involuntary manslaughter case against him, accusing the state of ‘a stunning abuse of prosecutorial power.’ The actor is facing a maximum of 18 months in prison if convicted in the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of ‘Rust’ in 2021. Baldwin’s lawyers argue that the prosecution has violated court orders and made false claims in pursuing an indictment against him, which they believe is ‘completely divorced from the public interest.’ The motion also disputes the prosecution’s claim that Baldwin commissioned a documentary about ‘Rust’ and attempted to interview witnesses, which led to a plea offer being withdrawn. Baldwin’s lawyers insist that this information is inaccurate.
