Sobbing Rust armourer gets maximum sentence of 18 months for fatal shooting of cinematographer
The armourer from the film Rust sobbed as she was given the maximum 18 month-sentence on Monday.
Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, 26, dressed in prison overalls, broke down at her sentencing hearing in Santa Fe, New Mexico when her term was read.
In March, Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter last month over the 2021 death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The 42-year-old was rehearsing a scene with the film’s producer and star Alec Baldwin when he drew a replica pistol and fired. But the gun contained a live round which hit Hutchins, mother of a young son, in the chest and killed her.
Earling in Monday’s hearing, Gutierrez-Reed listened to victim impact statements.
