Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer on the set of the movie "Rust," is facing serious legal troubles related to the accidental shooting that resulted in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Gutierrez-Reed has been charged with involuntary manslaughter and tampering with evidence in connection to the tragic incident that occurred in October 2021. Prosecutors have alleged that Gutierrez-Reed failed to follow proper firearm safety protocols on set, leading to the use of live ammunition instead of dummy rounds during a rehearsal.
Additionally, she has been accused of tampering with evidence by allegedly passing drugs to someone else to prevent her own apprehension, prosecution, or conviction. Despite attempts by her lawyer to dismiss the case, Gutierrez-Reed pleaded not guilty to the charges and is set to stand trial starting on December 6. The trial is expected to last more than a week and will take place at First Judicial District Court in Santa Fe. Gutierrez-Reed is currently out on personal recognizance but must adhere to certain rules, including drug testing twice per month.
The case has garnered significant attention due to its implications for safety on film sets and the responsibilities of crew members, especially those handling weapons. The legal proceedings surrounding this case continue as Gutierrez-Reed faces serious allegations related to her role as the armorer on the "Rust" set.
