The GOP legislator's decision to step down from the “Rust' shooting case marks another blow for the prosecution — and another win for Baldwin. (via Deadline: Legal Blog)

before the legal question could be answered in court. So, technically not an admission that Baldwin’s team was correct. But one would think that, if there was no merit to the argument, then it might not have led Reeb to leave the case before a court could resolve the issue.

I'll acknowledge, however, that the rationale for the prosecution's latest move is less embarrassing than its rationale for downgrading the gun charge last month. When it came to the gun charge, First Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies’ office said its priority was"securing justice, not securing billable hours for big-city attorneys."

, the statement was a combination of nonsensical and inappropriate, essentially blaming defense attorneys for pointing out the government's apparent charging error.After much reflection, I have made the difficult decision to step down as special prosecutor in the ‘Rust’ case. My priority in this case — and in every case I’ve prosecuted in my 25-year career — has been justice for the victim.

So, a better explanation of a potentially illegal move. I suppose that counts as a win for the prosecution these days. Of course, still being at an early stage in the litigation, we don’t know how the case will end. But Baldwin probably hopes it keeps going the way it's been going for the defense.Jordan Rubin is the Deadline: Legal Blog writer.

Is that the actor that shot and killed a woman while making a movie?

That’s because they should NEVER have attempted to bring charges! He was not responsible for checking a prop!

Keep defending this murderer MSNBC. Disgusting. Par for the course.

Tuff on guns…unless of course your a democrat then you can point one at someone pull the trigger and kill people,oh that’s ok just a little mistake….

THE REAL DONALD TRUMP!

I wonder if other news sites routinely regurgitate the same articles a dozen times.

Maybe because it ludicrous! I think they vote those evil prosecutors out of office.

Doesn't change the fact he killed someone

Alec can’t bad mouth Trump ever again.

And repeating this article becomes more redundant.

My fam won’t be watching it. The whole thing is sad and heartbreaking.

Covering up for murder for Alec. Disgusting

I'll bet MSNBC is saying their Pompous, Hollywood sshole. Socialist has done nothing wrong. That's the way this Anti-American, Progressive, Leftist, Socialist network operates. They want to destroy the American way of life.

Sure, sure. It’s political. Imagine if was Trump instead of Baldwin.

Where’s your article? Hey MaddowBlog do you have anymore “conspiracy” theories that haven’t been proven to be true?

Your ratings 😂

MSNBC is rooting for a murderer to get off.

If no convictions of this murder the movie industry cannot be trusted at all even the D.A. in that state.

We must stand w/the Baldwins. Alex had nothing to do with the killing. He is innocent. It was an accident. Accidents happen. But the deplorables want him in jail because he play Trump for humor on SNL. The deplorables are disgusting racist. I stand w/Ukraine, BLM & LGBTQR+

Yeah it's not like he killed someone or nothing.

MSNBC defending a straight white male for being irresponsible with a firearm resulting in the death of an innocent bystander. Is that even on the bingo card ?

The guy shot a woman in the head off set

Hey MAGA Told you so.

I don't think the bookies see a Baldwin conviction as a good bet.

Death penalty

Prosecute

Is MSNBC still defending him

Shweddy Balz can't run from the FACTS!

I'm sure Donald Trump has something to do with this as revenge.

Jr's gonna be raging on his little video with his air quote jazz hands over this, isn't he

Ive always said that prosecutors over charged.
