"Rust" Armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed Faces Sentencing for Fatal Shooting

"Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed faces sentencing in New Mexico for involuntary manslaughter in the killing of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, with prosecutors seeking the maximum penalty of 18 months in state prison. Gutierrez-Reed was found not guilty of tampering with evidence but expressed disdain for the jury in recorded jail phone conversations. The trial focused on the 2021 shooting on the "Rust" film set, where actor Alec Baldwin held a prop gun that fired a live round, killing Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza. Gutierrez-Reed's attorney argued that Baldwin was ultimately responsible, while Baldwin himself is set to stand trial in July for involuntary manslaughter.
