'Rust' Armorer's Trial: Emotional Testimony and Combustible Evidence

"During a police interview, "Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed admitted to using leftover dummy rounds from a previous film and claimed she checked them "most of the time." She loaded Alec Baldwin's gun with what was supposed to be dummy rounds but inadvertently included a live round. Prosecutors allege she brought a box of dummies containing live rounds. The defense argues she was not responsible for the live bullets and points to another crew member. The trial also revealed that the gun was working properly before being sent for FBI analysis, which resulted in the gun breaking during testing. Gutierrez Reed faces involuntary manslaughter charges, while Baldwin's trial is set for July."
