The decision is the second major setback in the case against Baldwin.
"After much reflection, I have made the difficult decision to step down as special prosecutor in the 'Rust' case," Reeb said in her statement Tuesday"My priority in this case — and in every case I've prosecuted in my 25-year career — has been justice for the victim."
"However, it has become clear that the best way I can ensure justice is served in this case is to step down so that the prosecution can focus on the evidence and the facts, which clearly show a complete disregard for basic safety protocols led to the death of Halyna Hutchins," she said.Baldwin's defense lawyers last month filed a motion asking a judge to remove Reeb from the case.
Those attorneys argued that New Mexico's constitution explicitly bars people from holding a position in one branch of government while executing the powers of another branch. Luke Nikas, one of Baldwin's lawyers, reached by CNBC on Tuesday, did not directly comment on Reeb's statement.In that, he had argued that there was"no question that Representative Reeb is violating both the plain text and the purpose of the New Mexico Constitution's separation-of-powers provision by serving simultaneously as a legislator and a prosecutor."
