'Rust' Armorer Seeks New Trial, Citing Jury Instruction Concerns

Following a conviction for involuntary manslaughter, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed's legal team requests a new trial, drawing on a recent Supreme Court ruling.

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the 'Rust' armorer, is seeking a new trial after being convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Gutierrez-Reed's lawyers argue that the use of 'and/or' in jury instructions could have confused jurors, potentially leading to a nonunanimous verdict.
The request for a new trial is based on a recent New Mexico Supreme Court ruling that overturned convictions due to similar jury instruction issues.
Gutierrez-Reed is currently being held in the Santa Fe County Adult Detention Facility, awaiting sentencing on April 15.
Alec Baldwin, also charged with involuntary manslaughter in the case, has pleaded not guilty, with his trial set for July.
