Alec Baldwin ‘Rust’ Case D.A. Suffers Another Loss As Judge Axes Special Prosecutor Co-Counsel Request

That’s four for four setbacks for the New Mexico First Judicial District Attorney in her prosecution of Alec Baldwin for the fatal shooting of 'Rust' cinematographer Halyna Hutchings in October 2021

In a virtual hearing today, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer shut down D.A. Mary Carmack-Altwies’ attempt to bring on a new special prosecutor for the high-profile case and serve as co-counsel in the matter.

“We are in dire straits,” she bluntly noted. “So, we have to be able to look outside of our offices in order to find people.
