“You were the armorer, the one that stood between a safe weapon and a weapon that could kill someone,” Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer said. “You alone turned a safe weapon into a lethal weapon. But for you, Ms. Hutchins would be alive, a husband would have his partner, and a little boy would have his mother.”
All that, not one false word in the bunch.
Gutierrez-Reed is a flake on a great day, a waste of protoplasm on any other.
What she gave the court doesn't qualify as allocution in my book.
She gave a statement, but zero allocution.
Her only concern was how this was impinging on her life.
Had she known and cared enough about her job to do it properly, or had a real armorer done the job, Ms. Hutchins absolutely would be alive today, and this would have never happen.
First, last, and alway, the armorer on set is responsible, it's in the J-O-B description.
It's why an armorer is hired in the first place.
Without some clever orchestrated effort to turn a day on the set into an assassination, a good armorer keeps everyone safe.
No matter what anyone else did on that set, she could have and should have prevented the tragic death of Ms. Hutchins.
Gutierrez-Reed is going to a prison, and not the 'cozy' facility she wanted to remain in.
The other tragedy in this is that the maximum is only 18 months.
There should have been a longer maximum sentence, and I'm sure she would have received it.
I am curious if she'll do the full 18 months.
I hope so.
