A special motions hearing in the 'Rust' movie set shooting trial took an unexpected turn when Alec Baldwin's attorney, Alex Spiro, accused special prosecutor Kari Morrissey of misconduct in the courtroom. Spiro alleged that Morrissey was signaling witnesses while they were on the witness stand, based on an email he received the night before the hearing.
Spiro informed Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer about the alleged misconduct and mentioned that he had a photograph as evidence, which he intended to submit to the court. He emphasized the high-pressure nature of the case and expressed his concerns about the integrity of the proceedings.
