“Lying, Cheating, Hiding Evidence”: ‘Rust’ Armorer’s Lawyer Wants Special Prosecutor Thrown Off Case & Hannah Gutierrez-Reed Released
The prosecutor for Alec Baldwin’s fatal 2021 shooting o Halyna Hutchins should be tossed out & the film's incarcerated armorer should be either set free or given a new trial, a court heard today
Hutchins was killed, and Rust director Joel Souza was injured, on October 21, 2021 after the Colt .45 Baldwin was pointing at the cinematographer fired off a live round during a rehearsal at the Bonanza Creek Ranch near Santa Fe where the indie Western was filming. Perhaps, most importantly, Morrissey today repeated her assertion that Bowles had full knowledge of the Colt .45 rounds that suddenly showed up earlier this year from ex-Arizona cop Troy Teske, a close friend of Gutierrez-Reed’s legendary Hollywood gun coach father.
