Alec Baldwin is suing New Mexico authorities for "malicious prosecution" after charges against him were dismissed in the "Rust" movie shooting case. The suit filed yesterday accuses New Mexico prosecutors of violating Baldwin's constitutional rights through "improper use of the criminal process." His lawyers claim the defendants were "blinded by their desire to convict" Baldwin at any cost. Baldwin was charged with manslaughter last January after a prop gun he was holding during the filming of "Rust" in 2021 accidentally fired and killed a cinematographer. The charges were dismissed in July.
