'Rust' star Alec Baldwin files 'Hail Mary' motions to throw out involuntary manslaughter indictment: expert

Alec Baldwin is fighting his involuntary manslaughter indictment with two new motions to dismiss. Baldwin's legal team filed a motion to dismiss the indictment for failure to allege a criminal offense and an additional motion to dismiss the indictment with prejudice based on the state's destruction of evidence. Both court documents, obtained by Fox News Digital, were filed on May 6.

Baldwin was indicted on two counts — involuntary manslaughter, negligent use of a firearm, or, in the alternative, involuntary manslaughter without due caution or circumspection — on Jan. 19. In his original motion to dismiss, Baldwin's team argued the prosecution failed to present crucial evidence to the grand jury. '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.
