District attorney in Alec Baldwin’s case wins New Mexico Democratic primary
- Share via
SANTA FE — An incumbent district attorney pursing an involuntary manslaughter charge against Alec Baldwin fended off a Democratic challenger in New Mexico’s primary election on Tuesday.
Dist. Atty. Mary Carmack-Altwies defeated former Dist. Atty. Marco Serna in Sante Fe, where special prosecutors are preparing to bring Baldwin to trial.
Carmack-Altwies has vowed to hold Baldwin accountable for the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, whom the actor shot on the set of the film “Rust” in 2021.
Carmack-Altwies is virtually assured reeelection in the heavily Democratic area in November.
