'Rust' Movie Armorer Found Guilty of Involuntary Manslaughter in Alec Baldwin Shooting

Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the armorer for the movie "Rust," was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the on-set shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins but acquitted of evidence tampering. The verdict highlighted the movie industry's safety standards and violations. The prosecution argued that Gutierrez Reed's failures allowed live rounds to make their way onto the set, while her defense attorney argued that the blame lies elsewhere. Alec Baldwin, who also faces involuntary manslaughter charges, is expected to stand trial in July. The trial revealed safety failures and negligence on the movie set, with the assistant film director admitting to negligence in checking the gun properly.
