Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the chief weapons handler for the Western movie Rust, was sentenced to 18 months in prison today for 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. "You were the armourer, the one that stood between a safe weapon and a weapon that could kill someone. You alone turned a safe weapon into a lethal weapon. Prosecutor Kari Morrissey pointed to phone calls by Gutierrez-Reed 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-Reed 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.
