Prosecutors ask ‘Rust’ movie armorer be sentenced to maximum sentence of 18 months in prison | CNN

Prosecutors in the case against “Rust” armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed are asking she be sentenced to 18 months in prison – the maximum sentence in the involuntary manslaughter charge she was found guilty of – arguing she has demonstrated a “complete and total failure to accept responsibility for her actions,” according to a court document filed Friday.

Hutchins was killed in October 2021 by a live round of ammunition fired from a prop gun held by actor Alec Baldwin on the set of “Rust.” She was also acquitted of a separate charge of evidence tampering. During the trial, prosecutors argued Gutierrez Reed repeatedly violated safety protocol on set and acted negligently and without caution in performing her duties as armorer, and that her actions ultimately led to Hutchins’ death. Gutierrez Reed is also facing an unrelated charge of unlawful carrying of a firearm in a licensed liquor establishment after she snuck a gun into a bar and then made a video about it in the bathroom, the court filing says.
