Alec Baldwin Rust shooting case sees DA step down and special prosecutors appointed.

Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies is stepping away from prosecuting the fatal on-set "Rust" shooting, appointing long-time New Mexico attorneys Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis as special prosecutors in the case over the fatal October 2021 shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Actor Alec Baldwin was charged with involuntary manslaughter for Hutchins' death, though the gun enhancement charges for Baldwin were later dropped. Baldwin has pleaded not guilty to his charges. The film's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was also charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter over Hutchins' death.
