Judge Denies New Trial for 'Rust' Armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed
Gutierrez-Reed's conviction for involuntary manslaughter in the death of Halyna Hutchins upheld despite claims of prosecutorial misconduct.
- Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer ruled that Hannah Gutierrez-Reed is not entitled to a new trial or dismissal of her conviction.
- Gutierrez-Reed's defense argued that prosecutorial misconduct and suppressed evidence warranted a new trial.
- The judge found that the defense had access to the disputed ammunition evidence but chose not to use it during the trial.
- Gutierrez-Reed was sentenced to 18 months in prison for her role in the accidental shooting on the set of 'Rust.'
- The case against Alec Baldwin was previously dismissed due to similar claims of evidence suppression and misconduct.
