Alec Baldwin asks court to DISQUALIFY special prosecutor assigned to his involuntary manslaughter cases because she is a Republican

A motion to the court filed on behalf of the Hollywood star - a Democrat and vocal Donald Trump critic - says she 'must' be taken off the case.

Baldwin accidentally shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins after being handed a gun with live ammunition on the set of his film Rust in October 2021. 

Reeb, a Republican, kicked off the prosecution sensationally last month, flatly declaring that if not for the actions of Baldwin and others on set 'Hutchins would be alive today.'

Now Baldwin's team alleges Reeb's appointment is a violation of New Mexico's constitution which prohibits the mixing of two branches of government.

Good to know he’s still a scumbag.

Liberals must have their own separate justice system.

[Seruzawa]

This is just a delaying Hail Mary. Billable hours for the law firm and Barwin stays free another few weeks. If he had a winning defense they would want a trial asap.

"The argument is a constitutional one and not politically motivated, his team said."

"The moon is made of bleu cheese", the team went on to claim.

[Track9]

That ought to violate the 1st Amendment.
He wants a shiria court where every scumbag gets to beat their wife.

The headline is misleading. (It also isn’t the actual headline of the article, but it’s possible it was changed.) His legal team asked that she be disqualified because she is in the New Mexico House of Representatives. (The real reason might be because she is a Republican, but the reason given in court is not.)

I’m no expert in in the New Mexico constitution, but it sounds like they might have a point.

[blackdog]

Liberals. Always accusing others of their sickness.

[SaxxonWoods]

I love this, and it’s only just begun.

It WAS changed in contravention of FR posting rules. The original title of the article is long but it would have fit in the alotted space for title.

[Quentin Quarantino]

He still thinks he’s the hero of the Resistance.

[eyeamok]

And the response should be a Motion to Revoke Baldwins bail because he is a democrat

I meant it's possible what was posted was the original title, but the source updated the title after people complained that it was misleading. Trying to assume the best of freepers.

I want to be on a Baldwin jury.

I promise to treat him as fairly as he treats us....

I don't think it was an accident at all. I truly believed he killed her deliberately for some reason. At the very least he's comparable to a drunk driver who "accidently" kills someone because they are completely and totally wasted.

[MarMema]

Same.

[GingisK]

Just shoot him with the same gun and move along.

[1Old Pro]

Hopefully he gets the full 6 years.

[SaxxonWoods]

“I truly believed he killed her deliberately for some reason.”

I considered that but have now gravitated to:

He was trying to intimidate/persecute her by shooting a blank at her. No one expected a gunshot to happen, they were staging the scene, not recording. Dumbass armorer left a live round in the pistol after their recreational shooting. His intimidation attempt turned into a death and a wounded person.
