Rust armorer appeals conviction in fatal shooting of cinematographer by Alec Baldwin

Defense attorney files appeal as Hannah Gutierrez-Reed serves 18-month sentence at New Mexico penitentiary for women

A movie weapons armorer is appealing her conviction for involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer by Alec Baldwin on the set of the Western film Rust, according to court documents released Tuesday. Gutierrez-Reed was acquitted of an evidence tampering charge at trial, and still confronts separate court proceedings on allegations she carried a firearm into a bar in downtown Santa Fe. A New Mexico judge last month found that Gutierrez-Reed’s recklessness on the Rust set amounted to a serious violent offense, noting few indications of genuine remorse in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
