Involuntary Manslaughter,Testimony,Hannah Gutierrez-Reed

A New Mexico judge denied a request to use immunity to compel testimony from a movie set armorer in Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter trial.

FILE - Left: Hannah Gutierrez-Reed wipes her tears at her sentencing, April 15, 2024. Middle: The movie set of "Rust," at Bonanza Creek Ranch, Oct. 23, 2021. Right: Alec Baldwin emcees the RFK Human Rights Ripple of Hope Award Gala, Dec. 9, 2021.

But the judge acknowledged that Gutierrez-Reed could offer new testimony about gun-safety training and whether Baldwin fully participated. An attorney for Gutierrez-Reed said compelling her to testify, even with immunity, would “virtually eliminate” the possibility of a fair trial on the pending firearms charge and could disrupt her appeal.

The court delayed until Monday discussion of a second motion for dismissal based on the argument that the firearm was heavily damaged during FBI forensic testing before it could be examined for possible modifications that might exonerate the actor.
