'Rust' Trial Testimonies: Negligence, Tears, and Unprofessional Conduct

The trial for the fatal shooting on the set of "Rust" began with emotional testimony from the film's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed's boss admitting to discarding live rounds in a state of panic, and the director describing the chaos after being shot. Witnesses described Gutierrez-Reed's behavior as "sloppy" and "unprofessional," with concerns raised about gun safety on set. Bodycam footage showed Gutierrez-Reed expressing regret and admitting to lack of official training, while an expert testified that the gun was in proper working order. It remains uncertain whether Gutierrez-Reed will testify in her own defense.
