TL;DR Summary

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer on the film "Rust," will remain in jail as a judge denied her request for release and refused to order a new trial in the case of the fatal shooting of the film's cinematographer. She faces up to 18 months in prison after being convicted of involuntary manslaughter for inadvertently bringing live bullets onto the set and failing to properly check the rounds before loading one into Alec Baldwin's gun. The judge disagreed with the defense's argument that a new ruling from the New Mexico Supreme Court in another case would overturn Gutierrez-Reed's conviction. Alec Baldwin is scheduled to face his own involuntary manslaughter trial in July for pointing the gun at the cinematographer and allegedly pulling the trigger.
