Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer of Alec Baldwin’s western flick Rust, sobbed as she was sentenced to the maximum 18 months behind bars.
Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, 26, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter last month for the 2021 accidental death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was killed on set.
Gutierrez-Reed was overcome with emotion throughout her sentencing hearing on Monday.
“A conditional discharge is not appropriate. The second option leaving you in the detention center is giving you a pass you do not deserve … you alone turned a safe weapon into a lethal weapon. But for you, a husband would have his wife and a little boy would have his mother,” New Mexico District Court Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer told the 26-year-old.
