Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer on the Alec Baldwin film “Rust,” will remain in jail while her lawyers appeal her conviction in the death of the film’s cinematographer.
A Santa Fe judge denied a defense request for release on Friday, and refused to order a new trial in the case. “Keep in mind there was a death that the jury determined was caused by her,” said Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer. “So I am not releasing her.” Gutierrez-Reed is scheduled to be sentenced on April 15, and faces up to 18 months in prison. Gutierrez-Reed was convicted on March 6 of involuntary manslaughter after a two-week trial.
In that case, the court overturned a guilty verdict on the grounds that the jury instructions were confusing. The defense argued that the instructions in the Gutierrez Reed case were similarly confusing, and that the Taylor case made it nearly certain that her conviction would be overturned. Prosecutors pushed back, however, arguing that the two cases were dissimilar. In the Taylor case, the jurors were asked to convict based on four separate acts joined by an “and/or” clause.
