Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in early March. She loaded the revolver Alec Baldwin was rehearsing in October 2021, when filming turned into a drama.
A live bullet killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza. Alec Baldwin is also charged with manslaughter, but faces the same sentence as the gunsmith, but must be tried separately in July. The prosecution called for his continuation, accusing him in particular of exerting constant "pressure" on the team which has "regularly compromised security" and accusing him of having “blatantly lied” by denying pulling the trigger of the gun. For their part, the 66-year-old actor's lawyers are currently trying to have his criminal trial annulled, by raising nullities, the prosecution said last week in a detailed response to the defense's case. The defense presented her as a “scapegoat” for a production that neglected security for financial reasons.
