Arrr, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer be settin' her sights on Alec Baldwin's first motion to dismiss his charge of involuntary manslaughter. The scallywag be tryin' two more times to escape the plank! Aye, the "Rust" star be fightin' like a feisty sea dog.
In the land of legal battles and courtrooms, the judge in Alec Baldwin's "Rust" involuntary manslaughter case hath spoken, denying his motion to dismiss the indictment on Friday. The judge did refute Baldwin's arguments regarding the grand jury process, deeming it fair and unbiased, as court documents from Fox News Digital did reveal.The defense did claim that prosecutors did bend the rules to hide exculpatory evidence, but the judge found these claims to be without merit, calling Baldwin out for his contradictory statements. Baldwin, indicted on two counts related to the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, did skip out on a hearing, leaving his legal team to fight the battle.But alas, the prosecution did not follow the rules, according to Baldwin's team, as witnesses were not properly alerted before the grand jury. Yet the special prosecutor called this a misrepresentation, stating she did intend to present witnesses over video. The legal saga continues, with Baldwin filing more motions to dismiss, including claims of evidence destruction and failure to allege a criminal act.As the case unfolds, the pirates of the legal world await the next chapter in this tale of courtroom drama and Hollywood tragedy.
