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.

Did you cut off the important part of the title?
Alec Baldwin asks court to DISQUALIFY special prosecutor assigned to his involuntary manslaughter case because she is a Republican lawmaker and her position is ‘unconstitutional’
That part has always bothered me. Why the hell was anybody using a prop gun for live shooting while production was underway? That strikes me as incredibly irresponsible. I have done force-on-force training using simulated ammunition, in the context of a larger training activity. The force-on-force area was separated from the live fire ranges by significant distance. We were required to leave all of our ammunition and firearms at the live fire area, when going to the force-on-force area. Once there, we used only their weapons and their simulated ammunition.
Because we didn't want to shoot each other or our instructors.
Duh.
Grasping. He is still a murderer regardless of HER political party.
Good luck with that.
l’ll be watching this trial whenever it gets to Court TV.

Clutching at straws already
So you think he should be tried for murder. Based on what.
Of the Party, by the Party and For the Party and it’s all about control and money and to hell with the law and our US Constitution. Democrats are hardcore communists and traitors.
Just think of how crime would run amuck if you could select only loony left liberal judges to judge you. You wouldn’t need any prisons.
Actual article title is
“Alec Baldwin asks court to DISQUALIFY special prosecutor assigned to his involuntary manslaughter case because she is a Republican lawmaker and her position is ‘unconstitutional’”
New Mexico’s constitution which prohibits the mixing of two branches of government.
China and Russia nod
“I’m no expert in in the New Mexico constitution, but it sounds like they might have a point.”
Yeah - my first thot as well.
They do already. The J6 protester with the funny hat was sentenced to 42 months in PRISON for trespassing. The woman in Portland who threw a Molotov Cocktail into a police SUV with 5 officers inside was sentenced to 33 HOURS of COMMUNITY SERVICE for her crime.
And always will be.
The Ukrainian parents and sister of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins filed a lawsuit on Thursday against Alec Baldwin and the producers of “Rust” in connection with her death in October 2021.
Attorney Gloria Allred announced the lawsuit at a press conference at her office on Thursday morning.

Great, he should be buried with legal fees.
It’s too bad the January 6th defendants who are being politically persecuted can’t use the same arguments against the leftist prosecutors and judges.
Until those people get justice, I don’t want to hear anything about equal justice in our nation. Nor do I want to hear about some guy being killed after running from cops and then pulling a gun on them before being shot dead for his actions. I do not want to hear that he was a “good boy” We have good boys in prison for nothing more than following the crowd into the nation’s Capitol. Equal justice! It does not exist!
