Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer from the "Rust" movie, is reportedly experiencing a challenging period while being held in a New Mexico detention center following her manslaughter conviction. According to her attorney, Jason Bowles, Hannah is struggling to adapt to her new environment.
With her family devastated by her guilty verdict for involuntary manslaughter in the accidental shooting death of Halyna Hutchins, Hannah's loved ones are arranging a visit to offer support. After being found guilty on Wednesday, she was swiftly booked into the Santa Fe County Adult Detention Facility, where her mug shot was taken.
Hannah's lawyer has stated that they plan to appeal the conviction in hopes of overturning the verdict and judgment. Although she was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, Hannah was acquitted of evidence tampering. During the trial, her defense attributed the accident to her being overworked by the production, and her legal team vehemently denied that the fatal shooting was entirely her responsibility.
The courtroom was reportedly shocked by the guilty verdict, and Hannah herself appears to be dealing with her own sense of shock as she tries to acclimate to life behind bars. While a sentencing date has yet to be determined, she potentially faces up to 18 months in prison.
The case gained widespread attention due to the tragic incident that occurred on the "Rust" movie set, where Halyna Hutchins was shot by Alec Baldwin with a prop gun loaded with live ammunition during a scene. As Hannah continues to navigate her time in jail, her future remains uncertain until her sentencing is announced.
It remains to be seen how Hannah Gutierrez-Reed's legal team's appeal will fare and whether her conviction will be overturned. In the meantime, she will have to cope with the challenges of life in detention as she awaits her fate.
