'Rust' Armorer Denied New Trial, Remains in Custody

Hannah Gutierrez Reed's appeal for a new trial was denied by a judge, as she awaits sentencing for the involuntary manslaughter of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the armorer on the 'Rust' film, will stay in jail while appealing her conviction in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
A Santa Fe judge denied Gutierrez Reed's request for a new trial, citing differences from a precedent case that had its verdict overturned due to jury instruction issues.
Gutierrez Reed faces up to 18 months in prison and is scheduled to be sentenced on April 15.
Prosecutors argued that Gutierrez Reed inadvertently brought live bullets onto the set and failed to properly check them before one was loaded into Alec Baldwin’s gun.
Alec Baldwin is set to face his own involuntary manslaughter trial in July for his role in the incident.
