Prosecutors called out Alec Baldwin's legal team for lying and manipulation after the actor requested the court dismiss his indictment. Baldwin, who was indicted for involuntary manslaughter in January, was charged in connection to the fatal shooting on the set of 'Rust' in 2021.
The '30 Rock' star's legal team argued the prosecution acted unethically and failed to present crucial evidence to a grand jury in a motion to dismiss the indictment, obtained by Fox News Digital. 'Enough is enough,' the court documents stated. 'This is an abuse of the system, and an abuse of an innocent person whose rights have been trampled to the extreme.
Baldwin will head to court in July for his trial. Jury selection will begin July 9, according to New Mexico Courts. The trial is expected to last until July 19. The actor had previously been charged with involuntary manslaughter on Jan. 31, 2023. However, special prosecutors Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis dropped the charges in April after coming across 'new facts' that required additional review. After investigating further, prosecutors convened a grand jury.
