Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed is looking to overturn her involuntary manslaughter conviction in connection with the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, reports TMZ.
“Ms. Gutierrez Reed is requesting to be released while she appeals, as if her appeal is successful, she will have served most or all of her sentence anyway, rendering a large part of the appeal meaningless,” her lawyers argued in the motion, reported TMZ, citing court documents the publication had obtained.
Before her sentence was read out in April, Gutierrez-Reed told the trial judge: “My heart aches for the Hutchins family and friends. Halyna has been and always will be an inspiration to me. I understand she was taken too soon and I pray that you all find peace.”“My heart goes out to the film industry for the devastating pain that this tragedy caused. When I took on Rust, I was young and I was naive, but I took my job as seriously as I knew how to do.
