The armorer for the Alec Baldwin movie Rust has been found guilty in the shooting death of the film's cinematographer.
Judge Mary Sommer remanded Gutierrez-Reed in custody telling her the reason is because, 'you are now convicted it's criminal negligence, but still a death.' Gutierrez-Reed was acquitted on a charge of tampering with evidence after prosecutors claimed she gave another person a bag of cocaine after a police interview to prevent law enforcement from obtaining it
Across more than two dozen witnesses, prosecutors painted a damning portrait of a film that was in a state of 'rushed chaos.' Baldwin, 65, who was the lead actor and a producer in the movie, will face a separate trial in July for involuntary manslaughter, which he denies Rather than having guns locked away at all times as was standard practice, the images showed a gun - which could have fired live rounds - sitting on top of the cart.
That round was visibly different to the other rounds and had a bright silver primer on the back, something the others didn't have. Gutierrez-Reed said it was 'f****** mind boggling' how live ammo got mixed in with blank rounds and said that a 'wonky' round could have been to blame The jury was shown behind the scenes videos from the filming which showed what a firearms expert argued were gross breaches of safety.
During cross examination of Carpenter, Bowles, Gutierrez-Reed's lawyer, did what he did throughout the trial - and tried to pin the blame on Baldwin.Bowles told the court that Baldwin himself made the set unsafe by waving his gun like a 'pointing stick' at people. Moments later, after the director shouted cut, Baldwin let loose another blank round while standing next to the 12-year-old actor.
Baldwin was originally charged with involuntary manslaughter but the allegations were dropped in April last year. He was dramatically charged again last month and pleaded not guilty He said: 'The primary thing here was rush, get this thing so we can get the money and that's all on production and Mr. Baldwin is one of the primary producers. That's on them. Miss Gutierrez-Reed had no control over that.'
Bryce Ziegler, an agent with the FBI firearms unit who examined the gun Baldwin used, said he had to break the gun with a mallet to get it to fire without using the trigger. She said that the actor was 'on his phone a lot of that entire thing' and didn't pay attention when she was showing him how to use the weapon.Gutierrez-Reed was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and also faced a charge of tampering with evidenceThere were numerous emotional moments during the trial, including the very first exhibit shown by prosecutors.
