'Rust' Armorer's Trial to Proceed Despite Prosecution and Defense Motions

The upcoming manslaughter trial of "Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed will include allegations of her cocaine use and boozing, as ruled by a New Mexico judge. Prosecutors plan to present text messages suggesting her drug use, potentially linking it to the fatal shooting involving Alec Baldwin. Gutierrez-Reed's defense argues there is no evidence of impairment on set and plans to attribute the tragedy to production pressure and potential sabotage. The trial is set to begin next week, with Gutierrez-Reed facing involuntary manslaughter charges and a felony charge of evidence tampering.
