A movie set armorer is challenging her conviction on an involuntary manslaughter charge in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer by Alec Baldwin on the set of the Western film “Rust,” court records released Monday reveal. The armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, filed a request for a new trial and urged a judge to release her from jail as deliberations proceed.
Gutierrez-Reed was convicted by a jury this month in the shooting incident that occurred during a rehearsal on the outskirts of Santa Fe, New Mexico, in October 2021. Alec Baldwin, who was involved in the incident, has pleaded not guilty to an involuntary manslaughter charge and is set to face trial in July.
