'Rust' Armorer Trial: Safety, Negligence, and Opening Statements

The trial of "Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez has begun in New Mexico, with the prosecution alleging she failed to adhere to essential safety procedures and tampered with evidence following the on-set death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Gutierrez has pleaded not guilty to charges of involuntary manslaughter and evidence tampering. The defense argues that the production created a chaotic environment and made Gutierrez a scapegoat, while also claiming that evidence has been tampered with. The trial is expected to last two weeks, with both sides presenting their arguments and evidence.
