'Rust' Armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed's Jail Calls Reveal Lack of Remorse, Prosecutors Argue

"Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed criticized jurors in jail phone calls, expressing disdain for their quick deliberation and calling them "idiots" and "a--holes." She also expressed a desire for Alec Baldwin to go to jail and stated she wouldn't testify at his trial if subpoenaed. Prosecutors argue that these conversations demonstrate her failure to accept responsibility for her actions and are seeking the maximum penalty of 18 months in prison. Gutierrez-Reed's trial centered on her role in the fatal shooting on the "Rust" film set, where Baldwin held a prop gun that fired a live round, killing the cinematographer. Additionally, she faces another felony charge for allegedly hiding a firearm at a New Mexico bar.

Alec Baldwin's Emotional Control on 'Rust' Set Questioned by Prosecutors

New Mexico state prosecutors allege that Alec Baldwin had "no control" over his emotions on the set of the film Rust, contributing to safety compromises, and "shamelessly lied" about the deadly shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The prosecutor claims that Baldwin's behavior and changing statements demonstrate a lack of concern for those around him. The filing also revealed that prosecutors offered Baldwin a misdemeanor plea deal, which was rescinded when they learned he was planning a documentary about Hutchins and pressuring witnesses. Baldwin is due to go on trial in July on a charge of involuntary manslaughter.
