Kari Morrissey, the special prosecutor assigned to the case, reportedly told the defense lawyer in September 2023 that she believed Gutierrez Reed knew more about the incident than she was willing to say.
“I feel very strongly she has some notion of how the live rounds came on set,” Morrissey wrote. “I certainly respect her right not to come forward with that information and to stay silent, however if she were to come forward and answer some of these questions that plague the victims in this case that would go a long way toward getting her a favorable resolution.”
“If she chooses not to … while I respect her decision, I will proceed with the additional felony charges we spoke of,” Morrissey added.
[Prosecutors added felony charges for Gutierrez Reed’s carrying a firearm in a bar, evidence for which they found on her phone. Her attorney claims that the charges are vindictive retribution for refusing to cooperate in the case against Alec Baldwin. Interestingly and perhaps in support of that contention, it’s been exactly three months since Morrissey (no relation) announced that she would seek a new indictment against Baldwin … but has yet to announce any new charges. It certainly has the appearance of playing hardball. — Ed]
