‘Rust’ Armorer’s Attorney-Client Texts Mistakenly Given to Key Witness
Alec Baldwin's co-defendant, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, sought to have her 'Rust' case thrown out, citing mishandling of attorney-client communications.
As a special prosecutor revived charges against Alec Baldwin on Friday, obtaining a grand jury indictment in the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, yet another problem emerged in a related case. Gutierrez Reed is set to go on trial next month for involuntary manslaughter and evidence tampering in Santa Fe, N.M. She mistakenly loaded a live bullet into Baldwin’s gun, which then fired, killing Hutchins and wounding the film’s director, Joel Souza. Her attorney, Jason Bowles, stated in the motion that the special prosecutor had engaged in “outrageous” misconduct by disclosing the attorney-client texts to Seth Kenney, the weapons expert who supplied guns and dummy ammunition to the production.
