Hannah Gutierrez-Reed is facing charges of involuntary manslaughter and tampering with evidence after famed actor Alec Baldwin fired a live round on the set of the movie “Rust” in New Mexico. Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed. The armorer was in charge of all weapons and ammunition on set.
the women in charge of Weapons and ammo on the movie set where a cinematographer was shot and killed is learning if she will face legal consequences hanna gutierrez- reed is on trial in New Mexico
as alec baldwin faces similar criminal charges in a separate coming trial . the start of a very a high-profile case .
it is the the trial centered around the shooting on the set of the upcoming film Rust.starring alec baldwin, but no this trial is not about the actor.in a way but he is not the one who’s on trial.he’s not the defendant here.
the person on trial right now is hanna gutierra reed .this is the film’s armor.why? lets go back to October 21st.2021
New mexico , this is where they were wilming the rust movie , this kind of western film and alec baldwin was handling an 1880s era prop gun for this rehearsal .
and he allegedly had been given the gun by dave halls ,the assistant director, hwo got the gun from Gutierrez reed ,that’s what the prosecution asserts.
and during this reharsal, the gun went off and instead of it being loaded with blanks or something similar like dummy rounds,it was loaded with live ammunition
and that shot hit cinematographer halyna hutchins killing her ,the director joel souza was also inju7red by that bullet ,he survived.
and after a long investigation. involuntary manslaughter were filed against baldwing and reed in january of 2023.
Baldwin’s charge werer later dismissed in april of that year.but then refiled in january of 2024, prosecutors said they got a new analysis of the weapon from experts in ballistics and forensic testing,proving that the only way the gun could have gone off is if the trigger was pulled.
baldwin had previously claimed that he did not pull that trigger, we now know baldwin will go on trial in july with a trial set to last around eight days.
but back to Gutierrez reed ,so, she is charged with involuntary manslaughter that she negligently used the weapon that she acted without due caution or circumspection.
but she also charged with evidence tampering for allegedly trying to get another crew member to hide a bag of cocaine , this as police were investigating the shooting
prosecutors claimed that she was doing drugs during the filming ,even smoking marijuana the night before. again ,the theme is that she ran this sloppy unorganized unprofessional operation .
that her actions caused a live round to be in that gun and for it to be ultimately fired.
Gutierrez- reed´s trial got underway last week and opening statements kind of gave us a good idea of the evidence that the state has against her .
here is part of the prosecutions opening state.
so what we want to do is give you the information that you need to answer to two key questions ,the first being what are the events that happened on set of rust that led to the death of halyna hutchins
and the second question is , how did live ammunition end up on the set of the movie. as the both questions we believe that it was the negligent acts and failures of the defendant miss gutierrez ,that resulted in both the acts that contributed to miss hutchin’s death and to the live rounds being brought onto the set.
our witnesses are going to testify that when the defendant pulled the gun out of the safe after lunch , what sheshe should have done was open the gun and independently herself checked each and every round, then when she took it to the church and handed it to mr halls she should have done a second complete ammo check with mr halls.
because this double redundancy is what helpes prevent ,the kind of incidents that occured to miss hutchins from happening.
this means she should have opened the gun removed each cartridge,confirmed that they were dummy rounds by individually shaking them, rattling them or seeing the board hole.
and because these dummy rounds are so similar to live rounds, her decision to just crack it open and spin the cylinder a little bit to look at the head stamp wasn’t enough. she needed to do a much more complete check.
so having failed to do that check herself she then handed the firearm to mr halls anyway, she exited the church and then mr halls handed the firearm to mr baldwin.
as the blocking session was underway miss hutchin and several of her crew mates were busily working looking through and adjusting cameras and mr baldwin was sitting on that church pew ,practicing how he would hold the gun for the upcoming filming session .
as mr baldwin was manipulating the firearm, he caused it to discharge and that unfortunately sent a projectile flying directrly at mis hutchins.
the projectile shot completely through miss hutchins and then struck the film’s director joel souza in the shoulder.
we will show you ladies and gentlemen but that by failing to make those vital safety checks the defendant acted negligently and without due caution and that the decisions she made that day ultimately contributed to miss hutchin’s death.”
and to highlight that point further, prosecutor said that Gutierrez reed knew about the safety issues on set, that she knew that there were problems she shouldn’t have just handed the gun to dave halls without double checking especially since dummy rounds and live rounds look so incredibly similar and it was her discretion to hand the gun over to dave halls and she could have said “no” but she didn’t .
so that is part of what the prosecution had to say during opening statement.
but what about the defense for gutierrez reed ,how will her team keep the blame off of their client ?
“ladies and gentlemen the jury , we are priviliged our team to represent hannah gutierrez- reed who’ sitting over here and we’re here because of a tragedy, there’s no doubt there was a tragic occurence on that movie set but let me tell you something you already know.
just because there was a tragedy does not mean that a crime was commited it does mean that hannah gutierrez-reed caused the crimes they have have charged her with and we are going to through the course of this case show you that production and the state have both very early on sought to make hannah guierrez reed a scapegoat. that’s what this is about .
let me talk about the live rounds .the government has a… the state has a relatively new theory which is based totally on pictures and you saw some of those pictures and it’s also based on the idea that live rounds have a silver primer.so that’s going to be the core of their argument and their theory.
and you saw in the picture one of them had a silver primer and the primer is just that circle in the middle of the round on the back where the hammer hits and that’s what caused the the round to fire.now .
now, what you didn’t hear in states opening was that there’s going to be numerous dummy rounds that also have silver primers that were on this set .
there was a FBI report you’re going to see that a box was removed from the prop truck had 16 silver primer dummies and one silver primer suspected live round.so this was a box found in the prop truck
so the theory that all the silver primer rounds are live is not correct.this is highly dangerous and how miss gutierrez -reed wa faced with the situation on that set of dealing a mix match of dummies, cheap dummies he’s going to call garbage that were just thrown together that she had to deal with .
again. while she’s being rushed she’s having to perform two jobs , she’s asking for more respurces and help from her manager and she’s not getting it.and what they tried to do and what you’re seeing in this courtroom today is trying to blame it all on hannah, the 24- year old because why? she’s an easy target,she’s the least powerful person on that set.
so the prosecution says it was gutierrez reed’s job to check all of this and she didn’t , but the defense is saying, she was young , she was overwhelmed with two onset jobs and she was dealing with way more live rounds of ammunition than we think initially realized and it was the production that created an unsafe enviroment.
so in other words a way to look at it this is to say , it’s not that she didn’t do her job but it was impossible for her to do her job.plus , she didn’t actaully shoot the gun .
alec baldwin did.and in law we sometimes say that this is what’s called an intervening cause to what occured it was baldwin’s decision to allegedly pull the trigger that caused the death of halyna not gutierrez- reed, so let’s keep that in mind .
it’s one of the arguments that i the defense will use but now we heard from some of the first witnesses in this case .
the first witnesses that was called by the prosecution and these were members of the santa fe county sheriff’s departement in 2021 ,who responded to the movie set after the shooting.
” am i arrested?”
prosecution also played footage from deputies body cameras as the witnesses testified and the defendant can be heard cying in one of the videos.
police officer on the scene of rust movie set .
santa fe police officer asked medical unit to com and check on hannah . because the way she was pretty much hyperventilating and he didn’t want her to pass out.
This video is important captures some of the immediate reaction of the defendant, immediatelly thought that she was arrested right , why did she said that ? did she know that she had messed up
did she show emotion as to what happened because she realized “Oops i’m in trouble for what i did” something sure the jury will be thinking about .
then a crime scene technician testified next ,recounting where rounds of ammunition were found.
these two rounds were sent to FBI because they were suspected live rounds, which the FBI confirmed.
this picture was taken before they were sent to the FBI. and turned out to be live rounds. meaning real bullets.
this is a dummy 45 round with a hole drilled inside. and were just loose on the prop cart.
this is a closeup of one of the gunbelt, this gunbelt was on top of the cart .
the prop cart.
the one with the silver primer were sent to the FBI and turned out to be a live round.
in total six live rounds were found on the Rust set along with about 250 dum,my rounds and nearly 1,000 blanks
some of the rounds were in boxes while others were just loose on a cart
or in a fanny pack back and a way to frame this with the prosecution is that this was the defendant’s to keep all of this secure
,it was her job to keep a safe set and even if we accept that the live rounds shouldn’t have been there.
she is the last line of defense to make sure accidental shootings don’t happen that’s why you do the checks of the guns.
now the defense in their opening statement they pointed the finger at the prop house.
PDQ as having responsibility for the rounds. when the prosecution asked the crime scene techician about the live ammunition provided by PDQ or allegedly provided by PDQ, the witness said they look different.
this live ammunition was recovered from PDQ props.
is visibly different than the live rounds that were found on the movie set.
there were different types of live ammunition collected from PDQ , including different stamps on that ammunition .
scene tech
but on cross -examination the defense questioned the tech about issues at the crime scene
sarah zachry was the prop master , the defense said that she tampered with evidence namely removing rounds from the set after the shooting
seemingly suggesting that she was covering up what happened.
so why is the chain of custody so important?
the chain of custody is essentially the tracking of where the item originated from to who has possession of it now and everything between.
and if there is a break in the chain of custody that’s a problem for the tech in terms of verifying evidence.
before tech got there miss zachry had thrown rounds away and or she had taken items from the prop cart to the prop truck that could cause problems with the chain of custody.
if someone were to remove evidence from a scene it wouldn’t just cause problems for chain of custody it would cause problems because the tech’s no longer have that evidence.
if you don’t have evidence it’s lost that’s a serious problem in a case like this . and this is a death investigation so the tech would ideally want all of the evidence that might be relevant for a jury to see later.
transcript between defence and scene tech.
” are you aware here that miss chary actually threw those rounds away?”
” at beyond my scope of knowledge”
” okay, and again we’re talking about those getting thrown away , but now let’s talk about if items were taken from that prop cart to the prop truck ,before you got there , would you agree that breaks the chain of custody.it desturbs the scene , would you agree with that?
” yes”
” so in other words when you get there and you take pictures of the prop cart you wouldn’t know if that’s how it looked at the time of the shooting would you?”
” no”
“and , um , we saw a picture of those boxes that went into the deputy’s truck , do you recall that?
” yes”
” later on i know you put them back in the cart to take pictures,correct?”
” yes”
” so, and i know you weren’t intending to do something but when you place them back you have no idea if that was where they were before”
” that was not the reason behind placing them into the scene.”
” i understand , and i’m not trying to say your’re resoning a certain way,i’m just saying that you did not know when you place them back for a picuture that that’s exactly where they were before”
” correct”
again , the defense kind bringing this allegation against sarah zachry about what her motivation were ,what she did but the defense just bringing up enough chain of custody issues.
to suggest that the scene has been disruptive, how reliable is the prosecution’s case ,how reliable is the prosecution’s story . how can we be so sure.
that the PDQ rounds weren’t the live rounds on set . something to think about .
the pre-trial hearing that would decide whether some of the defendants text messages about alleged drug use would be allowed in .
the judge sided with the prosecution allowing some of guiterrez reed’s messages to be uncluded at trial and a cell phone records analyst read a few of the texts that referenced smoking marijuana.
text message from Gutierrez phone. to the 505 number october 20th 2021 at 7 :48 and 46 seconds pm local time.
it says , headed down to get high outback colon B.
another important witness was katherine walters , the rust production manager. defense attorneys for gutierrez- reed have argued that the defendant had requested more training for management and was denied is that true ?
transcript between prosecution and the production manager
” are you familiar with miss gutierrez?”
” i am”
” you role on set,if a crew member needs something um … you would maybe be the person they would go to”
” yes ma’am”
” so i want to ask you did ms gutierrez ever specifically request from you additional training time with mr baldwin?”
“not to me”
” um , did ms gutierrez request generally additional training days as an armorer from you”
“no not for me”
kind of goes against the defense’s narrative that gutierrez -reed’was spread thin and didn’t have the ability to try to ensure more safety protocols seem she could have,she did not at least thaty’s what we’re getting away from this witness.
walters also testified that a few days after the shooting,the defendant asked her to meet at the prop truck so she could grab some personal items
transcript between prosecution and the production manager
” can you just describe to us the few things you did see her take out of the prop truck .
” uh, i remember uh… a couple of gun belts and i think i remember a couple of carboard boxes but nothing other then that .
” okay and uh , ms gutierrez took these items from the prop truck uh, prior to the police executing a search warrant on that truck , is that correct?”
” yes”
yah.. now a jury could interpret that as her tampering with the scene, but the defense said , hang on. she wasn’t the only person to get things from the set.
transcript between defendence and the production manager
” in addition to mis gutierrez -reed , you allowed other people to get their personal effects as well , didn’t you?
” from the set?”
” yes”
” yes”
” so after the incident the law enforcement cleared the scene..”
” mhm.”
” ..and everybody thought it was clear, correct?”
” correct”
” and so you allowed multiple people to get their personal effects is that correct?”
” yes”
” okay. so not just ms gutierrez-reed
” correct”
” okay”
okay so now maybe not as nefarious as before , okay if they they thought there was , scene was clearead maybe they’re not doing anything wrong here. plus she admitted that seth kenny the owner of PDQ was there when the prop truck was being searched by the sheriff’s office.
but on monday day three of trial a very important witness testified an FBI firearms expert bryce zegler.
testified about the type of revolver that ultimately became the murder weapon and how it works and zegler also explained how accidental discharges can happen.
transcript between prosicution and FBI firearm expert
” so , how is this gun designed in terms of safety uh with regard to possible accidental discharges when the hammer is in the fulling fully rested position”
“right, so when the hammer is fully forward, as i mentioned earlier the firing pin actually protrudes inside the frame, so if you have the cylinder fully loaded and the hammer is at rest on a chamber that has a live cartridge in it …
…that firing pin is actually sitting on the primer of that cartidge , so if i were either to strike the hammer or if i were to drop it and it landed on the hammer,it’s going to fire that cartridge .
so if you hit the hammer with enough force it will detonate that primer in that position and that’s ,that’s part of the designe of this firearm .
that’s just how these are made.and if you would look at the owner’s manual which this is one thing i did as part of my exam .you would actually see warnings not to carry this firearm with the hammer at rest on a loaded chamber.
so alot of time it’s actually advised that you , you load one lesws cartridge in the cylinder so you have one empty chamber and that’s how it’s carried with the hammer forward on that chamber , so these are recommendations in the owner’s manual .
so this isn’t some phenomenon, this is something that’s known abot the designe of these firearms.”
so zegler seemes to be suggesting that the gun had certain features and components that prevented the hammer from falling if the shooter’s thumb slipped off.
but if the gun had been dropped, the gun could go off,because the firing pin is sitting on the primer of the bullet.
now , the FBI analyst also seems to testify that someone had to actually pull the trigger for the gun to go off.
transcript between prosicution and FBI firearm expert
” did you form an opinion about wheter the handler uh, would have to pull the trigger of the gun to make the gun fire “
” my opinion is that the only reason this occurred is because of the breakage so in order to move the trigger away from the hammer that’s tyically accomplished by pulling the trigger so in this case the only way that was possible is because the trigger actually fractured .”
” okay.in order for you just so that we’re clear.in order for you to make the gun fire without pulling the trigger when it was in the full coock position you had to break it.”
” i that’s what i had to do in my lab , um , i can’t account for all the other possibilities that may have existed in you know some hypothetical scenario but this is the result as i tested it in my laboratory, it would not fire without pulling the trigger in the full setting without being broken and it is that kind of analysis why it seems to me “
alec baldwin was charged again have to pull that trigger and remember alec baldwin told ABC he cocked the gun but he didn’t pull the trigger.but in the lead up to trial there was a lot of talk about the gun and whether tests by the FBI had destroyed it so Gutierrez-reed’s defense team asked the analyst about that .
transcript between defence and FBI firearm expert
” so, you get permission to possibly destroy this revolver permanently, they gave that that to you.”
” i received permission to conduct the test.”
” and you made it aware to them that tihs could destroy the weapon”
“yes”
” when you did uh destroy that , you broke several internal parts”
” yeas “
” okay, and then we saw that on the exhibit you took tohse apart to show what,what had happened correct”
“correct”
” okay, now you also said that you did not see any modifications as to that firearm”
correct”
” at what point you testified that in your functionsality examination you also uh determine whether it had been modified or not”
” right so that’s generally in regards to things like has the barrel been cut has the stock been cut ,has this been modified to fire, fullly automatic so when italk about t modifications that’s what , i ‘m referring to and i did not see any of those things.
” okay,and as far as internal modifications you did , did you look at that”
” no because i can’t disassemble the firearm because i have to test it in thecondition it’s received “
“okay, but from your uh ,viewing it and your observation you didn’t notice anything that would tell you was modified”
” right, nothing jumped out immediately”
” okay”
now one of the final witnesses on monday was the dolly grip.he was on the set for a very important incident an alleged accidental discharge that happened ,not long before on the same set.
transcript between prosecution and dolly grip
“can you describe the first accidental discharge that you recall that you recall happening.”
” um , i think the first one was the um , i don’t know if the prop master was loading or unloading and…”
” let me stop ypu ,what’s the prop master ‘s name?”
“um ,sarah , i think her name was sarah sachry”
” okay”
“..was her name,um , she was, we were outside of the character rust’s cabin and i don’t know if she was loading or unloading a handgun but um unannounced to any of the crew that firearm discharged, so we could consider that a negligent discharge”
” and how did you know it was discharged?”
” i was within feet of it and she seemed pretty spooked when i turned around and it appeared as though she had um , shot that firearm at her foot.
“can you tell us in your experience,in your opinion what you think that gun was loaded with”
” i.. it made a bang but it didn’t you know , i don’t know if there was a bullet or not because i don’t know if it hit her foot , um but it certainly made a loud noise that spooked us and the animals we ha on set , i think we had a couple of horses on set and uh… and again it was unannounced, so it was a suprise to everybody that was around”
“were you preparing to film a scene or a take at that time”
” um ,yes”
” was it announced by anyone wheter the guns were going to be loaded with dummies or blanks?”
” i don’t think at that moment it had been , no.”
” okay , um. so when that accidental discharge happened i mean what did it sound like?”
” uh, a gun going off.”
” okay, and you indicated that this accidental discharge occurred because that gun was being loaded or unloaded by the prop master sarah zachry is that right ?”
” that’s correct”
” in the previous experiences on other movie sets with armorers, did you ever see the prop master loading and unloading the guns?”
“i’ve never seen that , no.”
” have you ever experienced an accidental discharge on another movie?”
” i don’t know that i have”
again, these are significant problems happening on this set and the prosecution would argue that this was Gutierrez reed’s job to protect against this , there shouldn’t be live rounds and accidental discharges happening, especially if there are happening all the more reason she should have taken greater care to test the gun before handing it over for it to be used by alec balwdin in the rehearsal
that’s the prosecutor’s argument and Gutierrez -reed faces up to 3 years in prison if she convicted of involuntary manslaughter and evidence tamp.
but the end of the day most important point, this is a tragedy that should not happened.
A timeline of the ‘Rust’ on-set shooting
and we’re going to begin with the breaking news overnight.
