Andrea Reeb has decided to step down voluntarily so 'the prosecution can focus on the evidence and the facts' surrounding the 'Rust' case.
The office of New Mexico's First Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies -- who is prosecuting Baldwin -- released a statement on Reeb's behalf on Tuesday, announcing the news.Rust"My priority in this case -- and in every case I’ve prosecuted in my 25-year career -- has been justice for the victim," she continued.
Baldwin’s lawyers argue that Reeb, a Republican representative, cannot hold the title of a state lawmaker and that of the special prosecutor, because the state constitution’s separation of powers provision prohibits her from serving as a prosecutor and as a state lawmaker.
