A new attorney has joined the special prosecution team handling the involuntary manslaughter case against actor Alec Baldwin, related to the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of the movie 'Rust'. This development was confirmed by court officials. Baldwin's legal team has recently criticized the prosecutorial tactics as 'stunning abuse of prosecutorial power' and 'appalling', particularly after a plea offer was withdrawn last fall due to misunderstandings about Baldwin's involvement in a documentary about the case. Baldwin's trial is scheduled for July.
