‘Rust’ Armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed Discovered Responsible of Manslaughter

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed — the armorer on “Rust” who was charged in connection to the loss of life of Halyna Hutchins — simply misplaced her felony trial … ‘trigger a jury says she’s responsible of a criminal offense.

A verdict was simply learn in courtroom Wednesday out in New Mexico, the place Gutierrez-Reed has been on trial because the finish of final month … with prosecutors going after her on two totally different prices — particularly, involuntary manslaughter and proof tampering.

She was discovered responsible of involuntary manslaughter, however not responsible of the alleged tampering.

A slew of witnesses have been trotted out by the prosecution … together with the primary assistant director, a producer on the movie, and a line producer as nicely — all of whom testified in opposition to HGR.

The prosecution’s case mainly amounted to Hannah being careless on the set — to the purpose that it amounted to negligence, they claimed — and it sounds just like the jurors agreed after a couple of 2 week-long trial.

Hannah was remanded to custody … which means she was taken to jail proper there within the courthouse — this even supposing her attorneys requested she stay free till sentencing. The choose denied that … noting a loss of life had occurred, and that she’d been discovered responsible.

Hannah’s household was sitting behind her throughout all this, and as soon as the choice was reached that she’d be going behind bars instantly … her family members began to interrupt down.

Hannah herself remained stoic all through the continuing, and he or she did not put up a struggle as deputies led her away. A sentencing date can be set later down the road. She was going through as much as 3 years in jail if convicted on each counts … now, it’s going to be a fraction of that — simply as much as 18 months in jail and a $5,000 fantastic. Unclear how a lot time she’ll find yourself serving.

Hannah’s protection ended up mainly boiling right down to her being overworked by the manufacturing … along with her attorneys insisting Halyna being shot and killed wasn’t on her in anyway.

Clearly, a jury disagreed on that entrance … however they did not see sufficient proof to persuade them that Hannah had tampered with something. No phrase on whether or not she’ll attraction.
