Special prosecutor Kari Morrissey and Alec Baldwin's lawyer engaged in a courtroom battle on Friday, July 12, regarding new evidence in the ongoing 'Rust' case. The proceedings took place before Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer, who recessed the jury to allow for a motions hearing to proceed.
During the court session, Morrissey was questioned about the significance of the new evidence to the case. In response, she expressed uncertainty, stating, 'I wouldn’t even know what to say yet.'
Following the jury selection on Tuesday, July 9, Morrissey addressed the press outside the courthouse. When asked about the potential impact of the new evidence, she declined to provide detailed comments, emphasizing that it was still early in the legal process.
Asserting her confidence in the case, Morrissey stated, 'We're just here to present our evidence, and we are going to do that. We're going to respect whatever decision the jury makes.' She underscored her belief in the importance of the judicial system and expressed trust in the jury's ability to render a fair verdict.
