Defense attorneys for actor Alec Baldwin are seeking to disqualify the special prosecutor in the case against him stemming from the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on a New Mexico film set.

In a motion filed Tuesday in Santa Fe-based district court, Baldwin's legal team said Andrea Reeb's position as a state lawmaker prohibits her under state law from holding any authority in a judicial capacity.

Reeb, a Republican, was elected to the state House of Representatives in November and started her term last month. “Mr. Baldwin and his attorneys can use whatever tactics they want to distract from the fact that Halyna Hutchins died because of gross negligence and a reckless disregard for safety on the ‘Rust’ film set," the office wrote in the statement.

Hutchins died shortly after being wounded during rehearsals at a ranch on the outskirts of Santa Fe on Oct. 21, 2021. Baldwin was pointing a pistol at Hutchins when the gun went off, killing her and wounding the director, Joel Souza.

Alec Baldwin's legal team moves to disqualify special prosecutor overseeing 'Rust' case | CNNAn attorney for actor Alec Baldwin filed a motion Tuesday to disqualify special prosecutor Andrea Reeb, who is overseeing the 'Rust' shooting case. This was a planned sabotage. The prosecutor missed it. Sure sounds like that amendment is to keep someone in the legislature using their power as a legislator to affect the executive or judicial branches. It doesn't keep someone from being a legislator and a special prosecutor. Pretty much a nonsense hail marry to stuff up the court Nope nope nope A woman was murdered. Justice needs to be done
