Hannah Gutierrez-Reed Sentenced to 18 Months in Prison for Involuntary Manslaughter
In a shocking turn of events, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the Arizona armorer responsible for handling firearms on the set of the movie “Rust,” was found guilty and sentenced to 18 months in prison for involuntary manslaughter. This comes after the tragic 2021 shooting incident involving actor Alec Baldwin and cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
However, amidst the trial, a New Mexico judge made a startling decision to dismiss charges against Alec Baldwin, citing law enforcement and prosecutors concealing evidence from the defense. Baldwin was facing similar 18-month involuntary manslaughter charges, but now finds himself free from legal repercussions.
Following this ruling, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed’s attorney, Jason Bowles, is now pushing for a dismissal of her client’s sentence as well. The judge’s findings of intentional misconduct and concealed evidence raise valid concerns about the fairness of Gutierrez-Reed’s trial.
Phoenix attorney Benjamin Taylor believes there is a possibility that Gutierrez-Reed’s case could be dismissed due to similarities with the Baldwin ruling. If prosecutors were found to have hidden evidence in one case, it could set a precedent for others.
The attorney could file an expedited motion to present new evidence and potentially overturn the sentence. The seriousness of the allegations against the prosecutors underscores the urgency of seeking justice for Gutierrez-Reed.
