Alec Baldwin‘s gonna like this … the special prosecutor overseeing the “Rust” shooting case says she’s stepping down.
In a statement to TMZ, Reeb says … “After much reflection, I have made the difficult decision to step down as special prosecutor in the ‘Rust’ case. My priority in this case — and in every case I’ve prosecuted in my 25-year career — has been justice for the victim.”
Reeb adds … “However, 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, which clearly show a complete disregard for basic safety protocols led to the death of Halyna Hutchins.”
The office of New Mexico’s First Judicial District Attorney tells us official paperwork has been filed with the court to formally remove Reeb as special prosecutor.
Alec’s still charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of Hutchins … and last month he pled not guilty.
