A special prosecutor in the involuntary manslaughter case against Alec Baldwin has announced her resignation, weeks after the actor’s legal team said her participation was unconstitutional.
In a statement, Andrea Reeb, who is also a New Mexico state representative, said that the decision to step down from the “Rust” prosecution was difficult and that she made it after “much reflection.”
Baldwin showed a “complete disregard for basic protocols,” Reed said in Tuesday’s statement. “I will not allow questions about my serving as a legislator and prosecutor to cloud the real issue at hand.” “As a special prosecutor, Representative Reeb is vested by statute with ‘all the powers and duties’ of a district attorney, who is considered to be a member of either the judicial or executive branch of the New Mexico government,” the defense team said in a filing.
