In response to the latest involuntary manslaughter charge that was brought against him last week, Alec Baldwin demanded a prompt trial, per records that Fox News Digital was able to obtain.
“Mr. Baldwin is entitled to a fair and speedy disposition of the charges to minimize public vilification and suspicion and to avoid the hazards of proving his innocence that often arise after lengthy delays in a prosecution,” the papers stated.
Baldwin further requested that the district attorney for New Mexico “preserve all evidence” pertaining to the case, along with a written list of all “witnesses which the prosecutor intends to call at the trial.”
Regarding the 2021 shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the “Rust” set, Baldwin was charged with involuntary manslaughter on Friday.
In the context of “RUST” shooting, Aleck Baldwin is facing a new voluntary murder charge. What is different this time?
Baldwin has been indicted by a grand jury twice now for the death of Hutchins. On January 31, 2023, Baldwin was first charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter; however, the charges were later dropped in April of the same year.
