'Rust' Armorer Found Guilty in Cinematographer's Death Due to Safety Failures
TL;DR
The armorer for the film "Rust," Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for failing to ensure that all rounds loaded into Alec Baldwin's revolver were dummies. The trial revealed that the live ammunition may have come from a box on the set, but the defense attempted to shift blame to the movie's primary weapons and ammunition supplier, Seth Kenney, who denied responsibility. Alec Baldwin is scheduled to stand trial in July on a charge of involuntary manslaughter.
