Alec Baldwin,Manslaughter Charges,Response

New Mexico prosecutors respond to Alec Baldwin's motion to dismiss manslaughter charges, accusing him of offering a false and misleading representation of the case. Baldwin is charged with involuntary manslaughter for the shooting death of Halyna Hutchins during the filming of the movie 'Rust'.

In a lengthy and, at times, dramatic response to Alec Baldwin's motion to dismiss pending manslaughter charges, New Mexico prosecutors accused the actor and his attorneys of offering a"predictably false, misleading and histrionic misrepresentation of the facts and circumstances of the history of the case."

In the first interview with detectives on the day of the shooting, Baldwin was recorded telling deputies that Gutierrez handed him the gun, that he fired the gun, and that director Joel Souza, who was also injured in the shooting, was telling him where to point. "As the OSHA interview continued, Mr. Baldwin's story took a very interesting turn. Mr. Baldwin vacillated between claiming he had virtually no experience with guns and almost daily experience with guns. … In sum, every time Mr. Baldwin spoke, a different version of events emerged from his mouth and his later statements contradicted his previous statements and his attorneys' assertions as set forth in their motion to dismiss.

The deadline for the defense to submit witnesses for the trial was March 1, but Morrissey noted that Ford, Mirren and Ackles are all absent from the list.
