Alec Baldwin’s celebrity lawyer helps keep ‘the rich and famous above the law’

Alec Baldwin wasn’t the only celebrity making an appearance in a New Mexico courtroom Monday morning.

The controversial actor was there the day before he goes on trial for involuntary manslaughter in the movie-set shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Baldwin, at the defense table, was flanked by an elite team of lawyers, who argued final motions before New Mexico First Judicial District Court Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer on what evidence can be presented during the trial.
