Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer on Alec Baldwin's film 'Rust,' was given the maximum sentence of 18 months in prison for involuntary manslaughter.
The 'Rust' armorer who last month was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the deadly shooting of Halyna Hutchins , the film's cinematographer, was sentenced in a New Mexico state court today to 18 months' imprisonment. Hannah Gutierrez-Reed received the maximum penalty for her part in the 2021 tragedy that several experts have since characterized as a preventable incident, where actor Alec Baldwin discharged live rounds from a prop gun on the movie set during a rehearsal.
Prosecutors had throughout the trial painted Gutierrez-Reed as careless and irresponsible, with the aim of convincing jurors that her negligence and 'willful disregard' for the safety of others ultimately endangered her 'Rust' colleagues and caused Hutchins' death. The state sought the maximum prison sentence for Gutierrez-Reed's manslaughter conviction as prosecutors said she appeared not to display any signs of remorse over the fatal incident in court.
