Malicious prosecution lawsuit by Alec Baldwin in ‘Rust’ shooting moves to federal court
Alec Baldwin alleges prosecutors withheld evidence during his involuntary manslaughter trial, prompting his malicious prosecution suit now transferred to federal court.
- On Tuesday, defendants moved Alec Baldwin's reinstated malicious-prosecution suit from Santa Fe state court to federal court.
- After a July 2024 dismissal of criminal charges, Alec Baldwin, actor and producer, sued alleging prosecutors withheld evidence and violated his civil rights.
- Revelations about evidence arriving in March 2024 upended testimony at the July trial, as Baldwin's attorneys say investigators hid a batch of bullets linked to Halyna Hutchins' death, and related prosecutions sentenced Hannah Gutierrez-Reed and David Halls.
- John Day, a legal expert, says `What it looks like is both sides are having settlement discussions as far as maybe resolving the case short of going to trial, which is not unusual in big civil cases,' and the state is considering paying Baldwin instead of going to trial.
- The suit had been dismissed for inactivity and was refiled in August before being reinstated in September; Baldwin originally filed the claim in January and court papers flag a possible November deposition.
