TL;DR

Jurors in the trial of "Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez watched footage of her being interviewed by law enforcement after the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Gutierrez expressed regret and confusion about the incident, claiming she had checked the prop gun's rounds and that the live round was a result of a discharged dummy. She also disclosed bringing in loose dummies from a prior film set. Gutierrez has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter and tampering with evidence charges, with the defense arguing that she was made a "scapegoat" and that the production created a chaotic scene. Alec Baldwin, also charged with involuntary manslaughter, has denied pulling the trigger on the gun.
