Jason Bowles, an attorney for Gutierrez-Reed, confirmed Monday that the trial had been pushed back to Feb. 21, citing “scheduling issues for various witnesses.”Gutierrez-Reed has been charged with tampering with evidence and two counts of involuntary manslaughter in the shooting, which killed the film’s cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, and injured its director, Joel Souza.
Actor Alec Baldwin was holding the prop gun during a rehearsal on the Western film set when it dislodged a live round of ammunition.

In a new gun analysis report, firearms experts Lucien C. Haag and Michael G. Haag found that the Colt .45 prop revolver had not been modified. The report was included in a motion filed by Gutierrez-Reed’s attorneys.
Santa Fe County special prosecutor Kari T. Morrissey said last week: “Charges against Mr. Baldwin are being considered, but a final decision has not yet been made. We won’t be pressured by Ms. Gutierrez’s attorneys or anyone else in this regard.”
