Alec Baldwin s attorneys asked a judge to dismiss the involuntary manslaughter indictment against him on Thursday, accusing prosecutors of misconduct and claiming the actor had been dragged through the cesspool created by their improprieties.

Baldwins lawyers laid out their claims in a 52-page filing, alleging prosecutors violated nearly every rule in the book before he was indicted by a grand jury in January . The filing claims prosecutors withheld substantial exculpatory and favorable evidence, and failed to call enough witnesses who were on set of the film Rust when the shooting took place.

Enough is enough, the filing reads. This is an abuse of the system, and an abuse of an innocent person whose rights have been trampled to the extreme.

The New York Times notes that in New Mexico, defendants are not allowed to call their own witnesses when a case is presented to a grand jury, but can submit a document to prosecutors that includes evidence that can help their client. The filing Thursday notes that Baldwins team proposed multiple people who were on set during the shooting, including the films director and assistant director. Baldwins attorneys claimed testimony from the men could have helped grand jurors better understand safety procedures surrounding guns on film sets.

But prosecutors called just one witness Baldwins team proposed, the lead detective on the case.

The State had one goal indict Baldwin, no matter the truth, no matter the rules or the Court rulings, and no matter what it took to do so, the filing reads.
