Alec Baldwin sues prosecutors in Rust trial, alleging civil rights violations
GuardianJAN 2025
The Santa Fe prosecutors and officials in this case sought at every turn to scapegoat Baldwin for the accidental shooting of Hutchings, shielding exculpatory evidence and ignoring the actions of others who were culpable. This is a massive breach of their duties and it's in the interests of justice that they are held responsible.
The box of live ammunition brought to the Santa Fe Sheriff's Office had no connection to Baldwin's case and the judge was wrong to dismiss the charges. The Santa Fe District Attorney maintains full support for the prosecutor and the Sheriff's Office for how they handled the case.
