The Armorer For the Film, “Rust,” Is Sentenced

“Rust” armorer Hannah Gutierrez ( 27-years old) is being sentenced to 18 months in prison for the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.  A New Mexico jury found Gutierrez guilty for negligence in loading the live ammo into Alec Baldwin’s gun on set, which killed Hutchins.   The judge said Gutierrez didn’t accept responsibility for her actions and hasn’t shown remorse. Prior to her sentencing, prosecutors said that Gutierrez-Reed showed no remorse for the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during recorded phone conversations from jail.   She allegedly called the jurors who convicted her “idiots” and “[A-holes].”  She also said witnesses lied and the judge was paid off.    It’s still not clear how live rounds ended up on the “Rust” set.  Gutierrez-Reed was offered a plea deal if she admitted she brought them, but she turned it down.  Her father blames the ammunition supplier and the prop master.   Alec Baldwin’s involuntary manslaughter trial is scheduled to begin in July.  He could also get 18 months.
