TL;DR

Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies has appointed special prosecutors Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis to take over the Rust shooting case, in which Alec Baldwin and Hannah Gutierrez-Reed were charged with involuntary manslaughter. The appointment comes after the judge shut down the prosecution's attempt to bring on a new special prosecutor. Carmack-Altwies will step aside from personally prosecuting the case to focus on broader public safety needs. Baldwin and Reed face a maximum of 18 months behind bars and around $5,000 in fines if found guilty.
