ALEC BALDWIN CRIMINAL CHARGES COULD BE COMING ... D.A. Shows Her Hand

Alec Baldwin could be facing criminal charges in connection to the fatal 'Rust' shooting -- because the D.A. is asking New Mexico for help in financing several potential prosecutions.

District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies reportedly filed an emergency request last week, asking the New Mexico Board of Finance for extra funds to assist in bringing up to four possible criminal cases that may materialize from her office's investigation into the death of Halyna Hutchins.

Carmack-Altwies got half of what she wanted -- according to the Santa Fe New Mexican, she was awarded $317,000 in relief ... although she had asked for $635k -- which is what her office estimated it would cost to handle the would-be cases.

The D.A. has since said that she'll be seeking the remainder of the dough through a special appropriation request -- which suggests she may actually need the full amount to bring any charges related to the fatal incident on the 'Rust' set.

Now, while the D.A. isn't definitively naming names in any potential charges -- her office is explicitly saying Baldwin could be on the chopping block. The docs they filed, cited by SFNM, reportedly say ... "One of the possible defendants is well known movie actor Alec Baldwin."

The DA is making a show of considering charges for him, but we all suspect that’s just PR. Charging decisions are political, and it’s not only that she’s a Soros-backed hack, but that Santa Fe county is making a strong push to get more film and TV production, so there’s doubtless pressure from locals who stand to benefit from filming to not charge him.

But if she does, he’s DOA on involuntary manslaughter. The facts already in evidence will be almost impossible for his lawyers to argue against. That, plus he’s been running his dumb mouth for over a year, and he’s basically convicted himself.

I think that there’s even a possible legal path to a murder rap, (pending further information about the case) but it’s hard to imagine that she’d charge him with that. Worst case, he’s looking at 18 months under New Mexico law, plus the civil liability.
