'Rust' Armorer's Trial Opens with Evidence of Live Rounds and Negligence on Set
The involuntary manslaughter trial against "Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed began with damning evidence, including photos of live rounds found on the set and allegations of negligence. Prosecutors argued that Gutierrez-Reed's failure to follow safety protocols led to the tragic shooting of Halyna Hutchins. They claimed she mishandled the gun, which was supposed to contain dummy rounds, and allowed live rounds to circulate on set. Gutierrez-Reed's defense attorney argued that she is being used as a scapegoat and that the production company forced her to work two positions under tough conditions. The trial continues with dramatic footage and emotional testimony from the scene.
