TL;DR Summary

Alec Baldwin's lawyers have filed a motion to dismiss his manslaughter case, alleging prosecutorial misconduct and arguing that the indictment was obtained unfairly. They claim that prosecutors leaked information, failed to present exculpatory evidence, and gave a faulty jury instruction. Baldwin, indicted for the accidental shooting on the set of "Rust," is set to face trial on July 9. His defense team disputes the prosecution's handling of the case and plans to focus on the condition of the gun at the time of the shooting.
