‘Rust’ Armorer Wants New Trial, Claims Prosecutors ‘Buried’ Gun Evidence

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed says prosecutors "withheld bombshell exculpatory evidence" about Alec Baldwin's replica revolver before her trial

Gutierrez-Reed has denied involuntary manslaughter charges in the death of Halyna Hutchins, who died from her injuries after being hit by a live round fired from a gun held by US actor Alec Baldwin during a rehearsal on the set of the movie "Rust". The movie armorer who loaded the live round into Alec Baldwin ’s gun before it fired the fatal shot that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins wants a new trial based on “revelations” that prosecutors failed to hand over “bombshell exculpatory evidence” before she faced the jury that convicted her last March. In a new motion demanding immediate jail release filed Thursday in New Mexico, Gutierrez-Reed’s defense lawyer Jason Bowles wrote that his client deserves a new trial due to the “dishonesty and misconduct” of prosecutors.
