Alec Baldwin wants a "speedy" trial for the involuntary manslaughter charge he's facing over Halyna Hutchins' death.
The 65-year-old actor was again indicted by a grand jury in relation to the fatal shooting of the cinematographer on the set of 'Rust' in October 2021, and his legal team have stressed they want things to move quickly in order to "minimise public vilification and suspicion".
According to court documents obtained by 'Entertainment Tonight', the 'Boss Baby' star's legal team emphasised their "demand for speedy trial, discovery and exculpatory information, notice of defense intent to call witnesses," as outlined by the Sixth Amendment, and also explained they wanted to do so in order to "avoid the hazards of proving his innocence that often arise after a lengthy delay in prosecution."
