The movie’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, has claimed that she “pleaded” with producers to give Alec Baldwin more firearms training before he accidentally shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
"The on-set and limited time of training does not comport to industry standards," prosecutors added."Baldwin's failure to ensure minimum standards were met is considered reckless in the industry."Gutierrez-Reed was charged because prosecutors believe she failed in her profession to meet industry standards, and that she should have demanded Baldwin focus on the training and kept the session on track.
Her attorney, Jason Bowles, has responded to the allegations by claiming that she “pleaded” to provide more firearms training, requested a plastic gun for the rehearsal scene, and told producers to call her back to the set if Baldwin was going to use a real gun at any point. Bowles has alleged that Gutierrez-Reed’s requests were repeatedly brushed off.
