An attorney for actor Alec Baldwin filed a motion Tuesday to disqualify special prosecutor Andrea Reeb, who is overseeing the “Rust” shooting case. The filing states that Reeb’s participation in the case is “unconstitutional” under New Mexico law due to her elected position in the New Mexico House of Representatives. CNN has obtained the documents which were filed Tuesday in the First Judicial District Court of New Mexico.
Baldwin’s motion argues that Reeb’s position constitutes a violation of the state constitution’s separation of powers provision and that she could “make prosecutorial decisions that serve her legislative interests.” Last month, Baldwin was criminally charged in connection with the 2021 fatal shooting on the set of the movie “Rust.
Nope nope nope A woman was murdered. Justice needs to be done

This was a planned sabotage. The prosecutor missed it.
