"Rust" Armorer Found Guilty of Involuntary Manslaughter in Baldwin Shooting

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the weapons supervisor on the set of Rust, has been convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins by actor Alec Baldwin. She was found not guilty of tampering with evidence but faces imprisonment for up to 18 months and a $5,000 fine. Gutierrez-Reed plans to appeal the conviction. This case has brought attention to safety standards within the movie industry, and it precedes Baldwin's trial in July. The defence argued that the problems on the set extended beyond Gutierrez-Reed's control, while prosecutors emphasized her lack of diligence with gun safety.
