After escaping manslaughter charges, unrepentant Baldwin now suing (Alec Baldwin vs. Santa Fe County)

Actor Alec Baldwin has filed a lawsuit against New Mexico prosecutors and the Santa Fe Sheriff’s Office, alleging “malicious” prosecution in the wake of the tragic 2021 shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film Rust. This comes after Baldwin’s manslaughter case was dismissed during his July trial, with the actor’s legal team accusing officials of withholding critical evidence and pursuing the case for “political” and “personal” reasons.
The shooting shocked Hollywood and reignited debates over firearm safety on movie sets. Baldwin, who was both the actor holding the weapon and a producer on the film, faced intense scrutiny for his role in the incident. Despite this, he managed to evade criminal charges, sparking criticism that justice has not been served for Hutchins and her family.
In the lawsuit filed in Santa Fe, Baldwin’s attorneys claim that the special prosecutor and sheriff’s office conspired to bring him to trial for “political” gain. They point to a comment made by former special prosecutor Andrea Reeb, who allegedly suggested the case could bolster her political career. The complaint further alleges that prosecutor Kari Morrissey presented “false and incomplete” testimony to secure Baldwin’s grand jury indictment.
While Baldwin’s legal team seeks financial damages, they also call for accountability from those who pursued his case. “Defendants must now be held accountable for their malicious and unlawful pursuit of Baldwin,” the lawsuit states. But this aggressive counteraction has drawn criticism, especially given Baldwin’s role as a producer and central figure in the Rust tragedy.
Halyna Hutchins lost her life when Baldwin pointed a reproduction 1873 single-action revolver at her during a rehearsal. Baldwin has claimed he did not pull the trigger, but forensic evidence has suggested otherwise. The gun discharged a live round, allegedly loaded inadvertently by weapons handler Hannah Gutierrez Reed.

Purely disgusting. He doesn’t deserve a CENT. If there was any justice in this case, he would be paying through the nose, from PRISON.

Hopefully he’s being sued for millions by the heirs of the dead woman and the guy who was shot but survived.
