In the set of the film, Alec Baldwin who was rehearsing with the gun and ended up shooting dead the cinematographer, was found guilty of involuntary murder on Wednesday. Arsenal, Hannah Gutierrez-Reedโs punishment, is the first time a jury has heard on cinematographer, Helina Hutchinsโ deadly shooting.
After the decision was read, the prosecutors asked Ms. Gutierrez-Red to custody and the judge, Mary L. Marlowe Sommer, agreed. A court officer took Ms. Gutierrรฉz-Red not in handcuff, but out of the court room. He may face jail for up to 18 months.
Mr Baldwin is also charged with non-inadded murder and prosecution is to be conducted in July. He has argued he wasnโt responsible, as he was told that the gun had no living rounds and should have no living rounds on the set. Ms. Gutierrez-Redโs lawsuit, which lasted two weeks in Santa Fe, the first Judicial District Court of NM, was focused on the fact that Ms. Gutierrez-Red was to load dummy round, inactive cartridges in the revolver of Mr Baldwin.
On the camera looks like real pills but which canโt be run. But one round went live. when Mr Baldwin went on October 21, 2021, when Mr Baldwin was working with Ms. Hutchins to set up the camera angle in a wooden church, it led to a shot that killed him, the director of the film wounded and the film industry was surprised how it could have been on the set where the living ammunition was to be banned.
Prosecutors argued that Ms. Gutierrez-Red had displayed a sample of negligence on the Rust โ set, called the crew members to stand who criticized their conduct. He tested that she had dismissed her prop cart, where she used to hold weapons and ammunition, left her dissipated and sometimes failed to steal the weapons from actors shortly after the filming of a scene ended.
The 12-member jury made his decision after a two-half-hour discussion. Outside the court room, Alberto Sanchez, a jury had easily reached its decision by determining that Ms. Gutierrez-Red gun security investigation had failed to perform properly.
He said, it was his job to check those pills and those firearms. ” The test was animated by detailed demonstrations of ammunition round, hundreds of rounds of photographs and gun operational at the center of shooting, the 1873 revolverโs pieta replica. Since Ms. Gutierrez-Red decided not to take the stand, Jury heard his point of view through his lawyers and through footage of video interviews held with Sheriff office investigators. Ms. Gutierrez-Red told investigators that on the day of shooting, he loaded six rounds in the old-fashioned revolver used by Shri Baldwin and had investigated all of them that they were inactive. But he admitted, I would have checked it out more.
” Ms. Gutierrez-Red told investigators that he showed the gun rotating the filmโs first assistant director Dave Halls, so that he could see inside pills. Mr Halls, who evade him from going to jail with a plea in the case, tested that although he and Ms. Gutierrez-Red had completely security checks of the guns used on a regular set, they fell short that day.
He missed to see only three or four pills out of six gun-filled pills that were clearly inactive. I donโt remember he had fully rotated the cylinder,โ Mr Halls testified, later admitted, saying, โI didnโt let that security investigation pass. ” The rescue side argued that Ms. Gutirrez-Red could not be criminalised because they didnโt realize that live round was running on the set that day, and he couldnโt predict that Shri Baldwin would have given gun tan on the crew member.
He also repeatedly questioned the sheriff office investigation and asked why he waited for more than a month for the search of the film’s primary weapon and ammunition supplier Seth Kenny’s office. Mr. Kenny testified that the Live Round did not come from them. The main witness of the rescue side was an inspector of the Stateโs Bureau of Occupational Health and Safety, which tested that Rustโs production did not give Ms. Gutierrez-Red enough time to obey his duties from his best labor.
After the decision, Ms. Gutierrez-Redโs chief lawyer, Jason Bowles, said the rescue side had planned to appeal. He refused to tell in detail, saying, โWe are disappointed in many things that court room has taken place. ” In the closing arguments, Mr. Bowles insisted that Ms. Gutierrez-Red was a convenient fall person for production mistakes, thereby highlighting his low position on the series of commands.
