The release of Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer convicted in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of “Rust,” has reignited debate over who bears ultimate responsibility for the 2021 tragedy.
Gutierrez-Reed, who served an 18-month sentence for involuntary manslaughter, returned home to Arizona on parole after her release from a New Mexico prison. While prosecutors pinned blame on her for bringing live ammunition onto the set and neglecting gun safety protocols, the real question lingers: Why isn’t Alec Baldwin, the actor who pulled the trigger, behind bars?
During the filming of the movie, they did extra care to test people who might have COVID, yet couldn’t take five minutes to make sure Alec wasn’t fooling around with a gun?
