Rust armourer sentenced to 18 months over fatal shooting

Hannah Gutierrez, the chief weapons handler for the western movie 'Rust,' was sentenced to 18 months in prison today in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was shot when actor Alec Baldwin was handling a gun during the film's production in 2021.

Mr Baldwin's trial is set for 10 July after a grand jury indicted him on a charge of involuntary manslaughter in January. Prosecutor Kari Morrissey pointed to phone calls by Gutierrez from jail in which she said the jurors were"idiots," the judge had been"paid off," and she continued to blame Mr Baldwin and others for the shooting.On 6 March, a Santa Fe jury took less than two hours to find her guilty. One juror afterwards said Gutierrez had not done her job to ensure weapons safety on set.

Ms Hutchins was fatally shot when Mr Baldwin pointed his gun at the cinematographer and cocked the weapon as she set up a scene.
