Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the Rust armorer who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter earlier this year, is seeking to undo her conviction after a judge dismissed the same charge against Alec Baldwin last week.
In stunning proceedings on Friday, the New Mexico judge Mary Marlowe Sommer ruled prosecutors in the case against Baldwin over the fatal on-set shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins had intentionally withheld evidence that could have been favorable to the actor. The evidence, which related to how live rounds of ammunition ended up on the film set, might have been exculpatory for Gutierrez-Reed, her defense argued in a court filing on Tuesday.
