Said the judge:
Soooo, blame the actor, that was handed a gun described as “cold” (ie unloaded) and the actor believed the people whose central responsibility was insuring the safety of such props?
Looks like the prosecution is going to the max with a felony charge of involuntary manslaughter (after the same prosecutor dropped charges against Baldwin earlier). And has come out loudly and publicly saying that the shooting occurred because Baldwin had ”no control over his emotions” on the set.
:dunno:
Prosecutors blamed Gutierrez-Reed for unwittingly bringing live ammunition onto the set of “Rust,” where it was expressly prohibited, and for failing to follow basic gun safety protocols.
Said the judge:
“You were the armorer, the one that stood between a safe weapon and a weapon that could kill someone,” the judge told Gutierrez-Reed. “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.”

“Rust” assistant director and safety coordinator Dave Halls last year pleaded no contest to negligent handling of a firearm and completed a sentence of six months unsupervised probation. “Rust” props master Sarah Zachry, who shared some responsibilities over firearms on the set, signed an agreement with prosecutors to avoid prosecution in return with her cooperation.
