New Mexico’s district attorney overseeing the “Rust” shooting criminal prosecutions of Alec Baldwin and armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed has stepped down from the case, in the latest twist in the ongoing legal saga.
On Wednesday, 1st Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies announced that she had handed the prosecution of the high-profile case over to two seasoned New Mexico attorneys, Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis.Advertisement The embattled prosecutor faced a Friday deadline to come up with a plan after Gutierrez Reed’s Albuquerque-based attorneys challenged Carmack-Altwies’ request that she be allowed to appoint a special prosecutor and also stay involved in the high-profile case.
In a hearing Monday, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer indicated that she planned to deny Carmack-Altwies’ request. Carmack-Altwies becomes the second ranking prosecutor to resign from the case that began after Baldwin accidentally shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of “Rust,” which was filming near Santa Fe, N.M.
