On Monday, New Mexico Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer handed down the maximum sentence possible to Hannah Gutierrez-Reed for her role in the 2021 “Rust” shooting that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was sentenced to 18 months in prison after being convicted of involuntary manslaughter.
The Daily Wire has more:
“I did not hear you take accountability … You said you were sorry, but not you were sorry for what you did,” the judge told the courtroom.
“It was your attorney that had to tell the court you were remorseful,” she added. “The word remorse, a deep regret coming from a sense of guilt for past wrongs, that's not you.”
“I find that what you did constitutes a serious violent offense,” the judge continued. “It was committed in a physically violent manner … I am sentencing you to 18 months of incarceration at a women's correctional facility in New Mexico.”
Earlier this year, a 12-member jury found the 26-year-old armorer guilty after finding the movie weapons supervisor responsible, in part, for Hutchins's death. The jury found she was not guilty of tampering with evidence, which was the second charge Gutierrez-Reed had faced.
Both Gutierrez-Reed and movie star Alec Baldwin were charged in the fatal shooting that left Hutchins dead and injured director Joel Souza. Baldwin was charged in January for involuntary manslaughter. (RELATED: Guilty Verdict For Armorer In ‘Rust' Movie Set Killing Bad For Alec Baldwin)
Baldwin entered a “not guilty” plea through his attorney in late January and waived his right to an arraignment. His trial date is set for July 10. He faces up to 18 months in prison if convicted.
