"Alec Baldwin's Emotional Control and Defense Strategy in 'Rust' Shooting Case"

Prosecutors argue that Alec Baldwin had no control over his emotions on the set of "Rust," contributing to safety failures, and constructed a false narrative after accidentally shooting the film’s cinematographer. They claim that Baldwin repeatedly changed his story and deflected responsibility onto others. The defense team has alleged prosecutorial abuses, while the prosecutor detailed reasons for dropping felony charges against Baldwin and offering a misdemeanor plea deal before indicting him on a felony charge. The defense contends procedural and legal defects with the indictment, while the prosecutor maintains that the indictment proceeded by the book.
