Special prosecutor Kari Morrissey recently filed a notice of appeal that asks the New Mexico Court of Appeals to reinstate involuntary manslaughter charges against actor Alec Baldwin. Baldwin was on the “Rust” movie set when the gun he was holding went off, injuring the film’s director and killing the cinematographer.
When Baldwin went to trial in July, the judge overseeing the case determined police and prosecutorial misconduct meant the case needed to be thrown out. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber discusses the latest with New Mexico attorney John Day.
