Defense attorneys for actor Alec Baldwin urged a New Mexico judge on Thursday to dismiss a grand jury indictment against the actor in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of the Western movie 'Rust.'The indictment in January charged Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on Oct. 21, 2021, at a movie ranch on the outskirts of Santa Fe.Baldwin has pleaded not guilty to the charge.
'The grand jury did not receive the favorable or exculpatory testimony and documents that the state had an obligation to present,' said the court motion signed by defense attorney Luke Nikas. 'Nor was the grand jury told it had a right to review and the obligation to request this information.'The motion also asserts that the grand jury received inaccurate and one-sided testimony about the revolver involved in the fatal shooting.
