Special prosecutors in the US state of New Mexico released a new legal filing Friday, outlining the allegations against actor Alec Baldwin in precise – and often shocking – detail. The 32-page document claims that Baldwin has repeatedly “changed his story” about the events of the shooting and he had “absolutely no control of his own emotions” on set.

Such concerning behaviour allegedly included Baldwin d...
