Alec Baldwin files lawsuit against prosecutors in fatal Rust shooting case Alec Baldwin has filed a lawsuit against prosecutors who pursued a criminal charge against him after the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust.
Baldwin's lawsuit has been filed less than a month after Ms Morrissey withdrew an appeal over the court's decision to dismiss the involuntary manslaughter charge against the actor.
The lawsuit alleges that prosecutors intentionally concealed evidence that would absolve Baldwin from blame and "sought at every turn to scapegoat" him to "maliciously bring about or advance" the actor's trial and conviction.
In a statement, Ms Morrissey said: "In October 2023 the prosecution team became aware that Mr Baldwin intended to file a retaliatory civil lawsuit.
Baldwin, 66, was accused of involuntary manslaughter but his trial was upended in July when a judge threw the case out based on the misconduct of police and prosecutors over the withholding of ammunition evidence from the defence.
