Alec Baldwin's legal team is accused of lying and manipulation by prosecutors after the actor requested the dismissal of his involuntary manslaughter indictment in connection to the fatal shooting on the set of "Rust" in 2021. The prosecution's filing called Baldwin's motion to dismiss "predictably false" and "misleading," while Baldwin's legal team argued that the prosecution acted unethically and failed to present crucial evidence to a grand jury. Baldwin's trial is set to begin in July, and the "Rust" armorer, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and awaits her official sentencing.
