Hannah Gutierrez-Reed has been found guilty of involuntary manslaughter following the death of Halyna Hutchins.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed has been found guilty<\/p>\n

The armorer has been on trial for the last two weeks in connection with the passing of the cinematographer – who was fatally shot during rehearsals on the set of ‘Rust’ in October 2021 when a gun held by star Alec Baldwin<\/a> accidentally discharged – and on Wednesday (06.03.24), it took the 12-person jury less than three hours of deliberation to deliver their verdict, which also included a not guilty ruling on the charge of evidence tampering.<\/p>\n

Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer ordered Hannah to be taken into custody almost immediately after the verdict was read and she will likely be sentenced next month, with a potential maximum prison term of 18 months and a fine of several thousand dollars.<\/p>\n

Hannah’s team plan to appeal the verdict.<\/p>\n

In their closing arguments, Hannah’s lawyers said she had been a “convenient Scapegoat”.<\/p>\n

\nLawyer Jason Bowles said: “There\u2019s reasonable doubt she had anything to do ultimately with Halyna Hutchins\u2019 death…<\/p>\n

\n“The buck stops with production .. as in any organisation, it starts at the top.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nBut the prosecution had argued Hannah had been “careless” and “thoughtless” and slammed her team’s “shotgun approach” strategy.<\/p>\n

\nSpecial Prosecutor Kerri Morrissey said of the defense: \u201cThis is all smoke and mirrors and deflection, they don\u2019t want the truth.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cShe was negligent, she was careless, she was thoughtless.”<\/p>\n

\nIn July, Alec – who was also a producer on the movie – is set to also face trial for involuntary manslaughter in connection with the incident.<\/p>\n

\nThe ‘Boss Baby’ star has repeatedly insisted he didn’t pull the trigger on the gun he was holding when it discharged, killing Halyna and injuring director Joel Souza.<\/p>\n

\nFirst assistant director Dave Halls entered a plea of no contest to a misdemeanour charge of negligent use of a deadly weapon and was sentenced to a six-month suspended sentence with unsupervised probation, a $500 fine, 24 hours of community service and a firearms safety class.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
