Juror in manslaughter trial says Rust armorer made ‘constant safety failures’


Juror says they found Hannah Gutierrez-Reed guilty of involuntary manslaughter because she did not follow procedures

A juror in the manslaughter trial for the Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed said the decision to convict her was easy because she did not follow firearm safety procedures, leading to the fatal shooting on the film’s set in 2021. Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, 26, was found guilty on Wednesday of involuntary manslaughter in the deadly shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in 2021 when a gun held by actor Alec Baldwin discharged. Alberto Sanchez, one of the jurors, told Good Morning America after the verdict that Hutchins’s death was a result of Gutierrez-Reed failing to do her job, which included making sure all firearms on set were safe.
