"Alec Baldwin Seeks Dismissal of 'Rust' Manslaughter Case Amid Hollywood Gun Safety Debate"

Alec Baldwin's lawyers have filed court papers seeking to dismiss the involuntary manslaughter indictment against him, arguing that prosecutors did not properly present the grand jury with evidence that could have supported his case. They asserted that the prosecutors have "publicly dragged Baldwin through the cesspool created by their improprieties," resulting in the criminal case "hanging over his head" for more than two years. The lead prosecutor declined to comment on the specifics of the motion but said, "Our response will be filed with the court."
