Alec Baldwin's attorney's have slammed prosecutors after the gun enhancement charges were dropped against the actor.
The defense notice to withdraw took aim at the special prosecutor's characterization of Baldwin's counsel as "fancy lawyers" who were attempting to "distract" from the case.
"Members of the prosecution team had amplified the error in the Original Information by repeatedly giving interviews on national television in which they erroneously claimed that the enhancement was not only applicable to Mr. Baldwin, but mandatory, and that Mr. Baldwin was facing an additional five years in prison as a result," defense attorney Luke Nikas said.
Nikas included a series of emails from special prosecutor Andrea Reeb, one of which accused the defense of failing to follow proper procedures and threatened to pursue sanctions. A subsequent email backtracked. "I 100 percent agree with your assessment on the issue. I will have our documents drafted to amend the criminal information to take off the firearm enhancement and file something withdrawing the firearm enhancement," the email, dated Feb. 12, said.
More than a week later, Feb. 20, Reeb filed the amended charging document that dropped the enhancement.for the shooting, however, that crime would carry a lesser sentence of 18 months if convicted.ABC News' Mark Osbourne contributed to this report.
