In the shocking aftermath of Halyna Hutchins' death on the "Rust" movie set, armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed's initial focus seemed to be on her own career. But was she merely in shock, or does this reveal a deeper disregard for safety? Now, facing criminal charges, the spotlight is on her actions and the chaotic conditions that led to disaster.

Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to break down the trial and its critical questions:

Callous or Confused? What does Gutierrez-Reed's bodycam statement reveal about her mindset after the shooting? Was it self-centeredness, or the panicked reaction of someone deeply inexperienced?
Scapegoat or Culprit? Could Gutierrez-Reed, with her limited training, be taking the fall for a system that prioritized cutting corners over gun safety?
Negligence vs. Crime: Where's the line between a terrible accident and criminal responsibility? Was Halyna Hutchins' death preventable, and if so, who should be held accountable?
Beyond the Armorer: Could Alec Baldwin have done more to ensure his own safety? What systemic failures allowed live ammo and unqualified personnel on set in the first place?
Lessons from Tragedy: As other accidental shootings on sets come to light, is the movie industry's culture of gun safety fundamentally flawed?
This episode probes the complex issues of responsibility, negligence, and the devastating consequences of ignoring the dangers of firearms, even in the pursuit of entertainment.
