Alec Baldwin<\/strong> might be put through the legal wringer again — because prosecutors are zeroing in on him again … a move his legal team thinks is complete BS.<\/p>\n The Santa Fe District Attorney’s Office announced Monday that they’ll convene a grand jury in the near future to consider whether to refile an involuntary manslaughter charge against Baldwin … saying they feel it’s appropriate for ordinary citizens to decide if the case against him should be revived.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Baldwin’s attorneys, Luke Nikas<\/strong> and Alex Spiro<\/strong> of Quinn Emanuel tell TMZ … “It is unfortunate that a terrible tragedy has been turned into this misguided prosecution. We will answer any charges in court.”<\/p>\n Remember, the D.A. dropped this same charge<\/strong> against Baldwin just earlier this year … this after making a big show of filing charges<\/strong> in the first place. While they seemed to close the book on his role in the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins<\/strong> — they did say at the time that they reserved the right to recharge him if new information came to light. Apparently, it has.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Prosecutors reportedly decided to send the case back to the grand jury after submitting the gun for further analysis, which they claim contradicts Baldwin saying he never pulled the trigger.<\/p>\n This latest news comes on the heels of a ruling in the pending case against the armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed<\/strong> just last week — when a judge decided that the production companies involved in “Rust” had to fork over correspondence<\/strong> and other docs pertaining to the film’s pre-production.<\/p>\n The implication … prosecutors wanted to see what, if any, role Alec had as a producer of the film as it pertains to allegations that corners were cut when it came to gun safety and training — something Gutierrez-Reed has claimed took place in defending herself.<\/p>\n Gutierrez-Reed is also being criminally prosecuted in this case … with the same charge. If convicted, the charge carries a prison sentence of up to 18 months.<\/p>\n
