Baldwin’s legal team in February sought to disqualify the special prosecutor based on constitutional provisions that safeguard the separation of powers between distinct branches of government.
SANTA FE, N.M. — A special prosecutor who doubles as a state legislator is stepping down from her role in the manslaughter case against actor Alec Baldwin in the death of a cinematographer on a New Mexico film set.
“It has become clear that the best way I can ensure justice is served in this case is to step down so that the prosecution can focus on the evidence and the facts,” Reeb said. Hutchins died shortly after being wounded Oct. 21, 2021, during rehearsals for the Western film “Rust” at a ranch on the outskirts of Santa Fe. Baldwin was pointing a pistol at Hutchins when the gun went off, killing her and wounding the director, Joel Souza.
In her role as legislator, Reeb has sponsored several criminal justice initiatives, including enhanced punishments for firearms violations.
