Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer on the set of the Alec Baldwin movie-in-progress “Rust,” is seeking a new trial and asking for an immediate release from prison, claiming that the prosecution withheld exculpatory evidence during her original trial. The charges against Gutierrez-Reed and actor Alec Baldwin resulted from an October 21, 2021, incident in which Baldwin pointed a prop revolver that contained a live round at cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and director Joel Souza and fired, killing Hutchins and injuring Souza.
Baldwin will stand trial in July for involuntary manslaughter in the case. Gutierrez-Reed was sentenced to 18 months in prison after being convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the shooting. In her request for a new trial, Gutierrez-Reed claims that there is evidence in the case that could overturn her conviction.
