A New Mexico judge will decide whether to dismiss the involuntary manslaughter case against 'Rust' armorer Hannah Gutierrez, following the dismissal of Alec Baldwin's case due to evidence suppression.
A New Mexico judge will weigh whether to dismiss the case against "Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez , who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, after dismissing the case against Alec Baldwin for evidence suppression .
During Thursday's hearing, defense attorney Jason Bowles said the "significance of the items that were suppressed were favorable and material" to Gutierrez. Morrissey argued that Gutierrez and Bowles can't rely on the dismissal of Baldwin's case over the rounds because they were in the possession of his witness, Teske.
Morrissey argued that the other evidence raised by Bowles was not material and said the state did not intentionally withhold evidence. "When I realized during the Baldwin preparation for trial that that did not occur, I immediately, I took full responsibility for it," she said. "We did the best we could do resolve it at that point."
Morrissey contended in court filings that she didn't lie under oath. During Thursday's hearing, she said she stands by her response while adding that the defense did not include the legal analysis in their motion to remove her as prosecutor.
