Rust Armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed Sentenced to 18 Months
“You alone turned a safe weapon into a lethal weapon,” the judge said.
“She continued to complain in jail calls about the negative effects this incident has had on her life and her modeling career while never expressing genuine remorse at any time,” they wrote, noting that she referred to jurors as “idiots.” Prosecutors told jurors that Gutierrez-Reed flouted common-sense gun-safety protocols on the set; the defense, meanwhile, insisted that she was a “scapegoat.” In his opening statement, prosecutor Jason Lewis told jurors, “By failing to make those vital safety checks, the defendant acted negligently and without due caution … The decisions she made that day ultimately contributed to Ms. Hutchins’s death.” Lewis ended his opening statement by quoting Gutierrez-Reed’s own words in a police interview after the incident. When Halls — who previously pleaded no contest to negligent use of a deadly weapon over the incident — testified, he told jurors that Gutierrez-Reed passed the gun to Baldwin.
