'Rust' Armorer Convicted of Involuntary Manslaughter in Baldwin Shooting

TL;DR
The armorer in the "Rust" trial, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, prompting speculation about the implications for Alec Baldwin, who faces his own trial in July. The district attorney, Mary Carmack-Altwies, emphasized that no one is above the law, hinting at a focus on Baldwin. While some see the verdict as a potential warning for Baldwin, others argue that it places sole responsibility on the armorer. The trial revealed evidence suggesting Baldwin's involvement in safety issues on set, and the special prosecutors are expected to continue pursuing justice in the case.
