A judge is planning to hear arguments in court Thursday over whether to dismiss a criminal conviction against a movie armorer in the shooting death of a cinematographer by actor Alec Baldwin.
Hannah Gutierrez-Reed has requested a retrial or dismissal of her March conviction for involuntary manslaughter in response to allegations that prosecutors failed to share evidence including ammunition that might have been exculpatory in the shooting death that occurred on the set of the Western movie “Rust” in 2021.
Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer is reconsidering the armorer’s conviction after throwing out an involuntary manslaughter case against Baldwin midtrial on similar grounds.
Most directly, yes.
The general argument has been that Baldwin, as a producer, has certain leadership and oversight responsibilities to ensure the staff under them to do their jobs.
Essentially there is argument that Baldwin should have fired the armorer for such breeches, but it was known staff were shooting guns recreationally in the desert after filming. That’s all super bad
Or breaches even. Breeches are pants.
Bach? Beethoven? Breeches? Shiiieeet you’d get shot for wearing those where I’m from
