Hannah Gutierrez, responsible for the guns in the film “Rust”, was sentenced this Monday to 18 months in prison for the death of director Halina Hutchins.
According to Reuters, the woman was responsible for carrying the gun that Alec Baldwin fired, resulting in the director’s death.
During the trial, held in a New Mexico court, prosecutors accused Hannah Gutierrez-Reed of repeated negligence.
Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was acquitted of another charge of tampering with evidence.
In October 2021, while filming the film Rust in New Mexico, in the southwestern United States, actor Alec Baldwin pointed a gun that, contrary to speculation, turned out to be a real projectile, killing cinematographer Halina Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza. .
For two weeks, the court tried to explain how this real bullet, one of many live rounds collected by investigators, could have ended up on the set, violating industry-wide safety rules.
During the hearing, jurors saw footage of Alec Baldwin dangerously handling the weapon, pointing it at other members of the team, without the intervention of a gunsmith.
