'Rust' Armorer's Trial: Texts Reveal Marijuana Use Night Before Shooting

TL;DR Summary
Text messages presented in the trial of "Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed suggest she was smoking marijuana the night before the fatal accident on set. The prosecution argues that her negligence led to the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was killed when actor Alec Baldwin fired a live round. The defense seeks to shift blame onto the ammunition supplier and alleges evidence tampering. Gutierrez Reed faces up to three years in prison if convicted of involuntary manslaughter and evidence tampering.
