“After much reflection, I have made the difficult decision to step down as special prosecutor in the ‘Rust’ case,” Andrea Reeb said.
Andrea Reeb said the controversy surrounding her status as a New Mexico legislator was interfering with “the real issue at hand.”
“My priority in this case—and in every case I’ve prosecuted in my 25-year career—has been justice for the victim. 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.
“Representative Reeb is therefore either the executive power or the judicial power, and her service as a special prosecutor is unconstitutional,” Baldwin’s attorneys wrote in the motion. “Rust” director Joel Souza was also injured in the shooting and could be featured as a witness in the case on behalf of the prosecution.
