A New Mexico judge excoriated the 26-year-old Arizona woman, who loaded Alec Baldwin's gun with five dummy rounds and one lead bullet, which killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in October 2021.
A New Mexico judge on Monday ordered 'Rust' movie weapons handler Hannah Gutierrez to serve 18 months in prison — the maximum sentence — for her role in the accidental shooting death of the western film's cinematographer 2½ ago in New Mexico. In March, a Santa Fe, N.M., jury found Gutierrez, 26, guilty of involuntary manslaughter in Halyna Hutchins' death during a rehearsal for a scene with Alec Baldwin, who was pointing his prop gun at her when it discharged.
Speaker after speaker, including the film's director, Joel Souza, who was injured by the same bullet, talked about how the shooting had profoundly affected them, and said they remain filled with sorrow to this day. 'Halyna was a force. ... She was one of my favorite people in the world,' Jen White, a friend, testified through a video link. 'I feel like she has gotten lost in the swirl of all of the finger pointing and blame in the aftermath of this completely preventable tragedy.
