Hannah Gutierrez-Reed 'was drinking heavily and smoking marijuana in the evenings during the shooting of Rust,' prosecutors say of involuntary manslaughter charge.
“Ms. Gutierrez is not being selectively prosecuted. She is being appropriately prosecuted because her primary function as an armorer on themovie set was to ensure gun safety,” prosecutors wrote. “Her reckless failure resulted in the senseless death of another human being. All Defendant Gutierrez needed to do was shake every bullet and make sure it rattled before putting it in the gun — she failed and killed someone.
Prosecutors also claimed that “witnesses in the current case will testify that Defendant Gutierrez was drinking heavily and smoking marijuana in the evenings during the shooting of. It is likely that Defendant Gutierrez was hung over when she inserted a live bullet into a gun that she knew was going to be used at some point by an actor while filming a shooting scene with other actors and crew members.
Additionally, prosecutors mapped out “a history of reckless conduct that has resulted in loss of human life,” noting how Gutierrez-Reed was once sued for lending her motorcycle to an intoxicated person, resulting in an accident that caused someone else’s death. “It is in the public interest that she finally be held accountable,” prosecutors wrote, adding of the Rust charges, “The crime of involuntary manslaughter was designed specifically for this type of circumstance.”

The weapons expert in the Alec Baldwin case was hungover on set, prosecutors sayProsecutors are accusing the weapons supervisor on the film set where Alec Baldwin shot and killed a cinematographer of drinking and smoking marijuana in the evenings during the filming of “Rust.” They say she was likely hungover when she loaded a live bullet into the revolver. They leveled the accusations Friday in response to a motion filed last month by Hannah Gutierrez-Reed's attorneys that seeks to dismiss her involuntary manslaughter charge. Gutierrez-Reed's attorney said Tuesday that the prosecution's case is weak and they're resorting to character assassination claims.
