“RUST” ARMORER GUILTY OF INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER

The ‘Rust’ armorer,Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter. She was accused of putting a live round into the gun that Alec Baldwin was rehearsing with on the set of the film “Rust” when it went off, killing the cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

After the verdict was read, prosecutors asked that Ms. Gutierrez-Reed be taken into custody and the judge, Mary L. Marlowe Sommer, agreed. A court officer led Ms. Gutierrez-Reed out of the courtroom, not in handcuffs.

She faces up to 18 months in prison.

ALEC BALDWIN is facing the same charges, as he was the actor using the weapon, AND a producer on the film. Making him one of Hannah Gutierrez-Reed‘s supervisors. Baldwin is scheduled to stand trial in July.
