The armorer was convicted for unwittingly bringing live ammunition onto set, where it was expressly prohibited, and failing to follow basic gun safety protocols.SANTA FE, N.M. — A movie weapons supervisor is facing up to 18 months in prison for the fatal shooting of a cinematographer by Alec Baldwin on the set of the Western film “Rust,” with her sentencing scheduled for Monday in a New Mexico state court.
Defense attorneys for Gutierrez-Reed requested leniency in sentencing — including a possible conditional discharge that would avoid further jail time and leave an adjudication of guilt off her record if certain conditions are met. Defense attorneys have highlighted Gutierrez-Reed's relatively young age “and the devastating effect a felony will have on her life going forward.”
Special prosecutor Kari Morrissey urged the judge to impose the maximum prison sentence and designate Gutierrez-Reed as a “serious violent offender" to limit her eligibility for a sentence reduction later, describing the defendant's behavior on the set of “Rust” as exceptionally reckless. She said Gutierrez-Reed has shown a lack of remorse, citing comments by Gutierrez-Reed in phone calls from jail that are monitored by authorities.
