SANTA FE – The investigation into the fatal film-set shooting of a cinematographer by actor Alec Baldwin is ongoing, and the New Mexico prosecutor overseeing the case says authorities are awaiting the analysis of key forensic evidence before a decision can be made about whether criminal charges will be filed.
First Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies provided the update in a social media post Wednesday, saying her office has received only portions of the investigation from the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office.
Still outstanding is forensic analysis of the weapon, a review of data from Baldwin’s cellphone and more from the FBI and state medical examiners.
To expedite the process, Carmack-Altwies has retained a special prosecutor – retired 9th Judicial District Attorney Andrea Reeb from eastern New Mexico, who has more than two decades of experience.
“To remain transparent to the local and national community, the (district attorney’s office) will proactively disseminate information as it becomes available,” Carmack-Altwies said.

Baldwin hated/hates Trump and he was selected to slime Trump
He did his job with gusto
I will be surprised if true justice prevails
They probably sent the evidence to the FBI Field Office handling Hunter Biden’s Laptops.
Could be a few more years yet……….
Oh, you're transparent all right.
Prosecutors await (doctored) forensics in Alec Baldwin shooting
9 months later but soon
Crap, a rerun of Forensic Files could have given them the info they need a hell of a lot faster than this.
I can’t imagine being handed a gun and not checking to see if it’s loaded. Then again I’m not an “actor”.
“SAA.”
Modern replica. Less likely to malfunction.
As a gun guy, I get that and agree with you. But you wouldn't expect an actor to make sure that there was brake fluid in the master cylinder when you put him in a car on set, would you?
I wonder if the SCOTUS leak case is being handled by the same people?
This was nothing more than an industrial accident and law enforcement will treat it as such.
The LEOs said that while there was negligence, it didn't rise to the level of criminality.
The entertainment industry is a dangerous one. Everyone involved understands that.
There's no end to the risks that can cause injury, disfigurement or even death.
It goes with the territory.
The majority of the public knew nearly immediately this was political when the police didn’t at least detain him for murder until released on Recognizance (ROR).
The video shows he pulled the trigger!!
Doesn’t matter. The gun WAS LOADED with LIVE ammunition. Alec pointed a REAL gun at someone and KILLED THEM.
GUILTY, PERIOD. Case closed.
The “I didn’t know the gun was loaded” excuse is irrelevant.

“Check the firearm every time you take possession of it. Before each use, make sure the gun has been test-fired off stage and then ask to test fire it yourself. Watch the prop master check the cylinders and barrel to be sure no foreign object or dummy bullet has become lodged inside.”
We are talking about Hollyweird, so when you say get Barrwin off.
Is that in a sexual nature /s
Inquiring minds want to know.
Slow walking until everyone forgets ... a favorite tactic of the federal RICO FBI.
That's true and a Colt-made SAA is extremely unlikely to malfunction so the Uberti replica approaches improbability of mechanical failure.
The odds are almost nil that the armorer brought a gun to this production that was defective in any way.
Oh great. Now I have to scrub my brain when I get home to get rid of that image. Lol.
