Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed is heading to prison after getting sentenced to 18 months behind bars for the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
“You alone turned a safe weapon into a lethal weapon,” Judge Mary Marlow Sommer said to Gutierrez-Reed in her sentencing Monday after shutting down defense pleas for probation and counseling. “But for you, Ms. Hutchins would be alive, a husband would have his partner and a little boy would have his mother.” The 18-month sentence is the maximum penalty a criminal can receive under New Mexico law.
Gutierrez-Reed has expressed deep remorse for the tragic event, saying her “heart aches” for everyone affected by her negligence. Chalking her actions up to being “young and naive,” she disapproves of the media painting her as a monster in this scenario. “I beg you please don’t give me more time,” Gutierrez-Reed pleaded to the court before sentencing. “The jury has found me in part at fault for this God-awful tragedy but that doesn’t make a monster,” she reasoned. “That makes me human.”
Unfortunately for Gutierrez-Reed, her words were brushed aside, with Judge Sommer saying she had not heard the defendant take accountability for her actions and, in several phone calls made from jail, pushed the blame onto others. “Your attorney had to tell the court you were remorseful,” said Judge Sommer.
Gutierrez-Reed’s trial lasted two weeks, with the Rust armorer convicted of involuntary manslaughter. She was not found guilty of evidence tampering, which could have increased her sentence to nearly three years.
While Alec Baldwin has pleaded not guilty in the Rust case, the prosecution is pressing forward that there was more involved than just gunfire that should contribute to a guilty verdict. According to prosecutor Kari Morrissey, reckless behavior and disregard ultimately led to that moment in which the 42-year-old Hutchins died. “To watch Mr. Baldwin’s conduct on the set of Rust is to witness a man who has absolutely no control of his own emotions and absolutely no concern for how his conduct affects those around him. Witnesses have testified that it was this exact conduct that contributed to safety compromises on set.”
Morrissey also supports the claim that Alec Baldwin has been inconsistent in recounting the incident and everything that was going on on the set of Rust, which shut down production following the death of October 2001 and resumed in April 2023. “Every time Mr. Baldwin spoke, a different version of events emerged from his mouth, and his later statements contradicted his previous statements.” Filming wrapped in May last year, although no release date has been officially set.
What do you think of Gutierrez-Reed’s sentencing for her part in the untimely death of Halyna Hutchins? Could Alec Baldwin go to jail for his part in the tragic incident? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.

As Alec Baldwin awaits his July trial date for involuntary manslaughter charges on the rest of Rust, the case against him continues to build. The case stems from the tragedy of the 2021 death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was killed by a prop gun fired by Baldwin.

This comes just one month after Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer on Rust, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter. She will be kept in jail as she awaits sentencing, which is set for next week. Gutierrez-Reed could face up to 18 months in jail.
The picture being painted of Alec Baldwin ahead of his Rust trial is a damning one. And while we still have a handful of months before we see him take the stand and hear the verdict, such words may only do harm to the actor, who does have a history of hot-headed behavior. Whether or not that actually occurred while making Rust and if it can be determined to be a direct factor in the death of Halyna Hutchins will be looked at formally in just under three months in New Mexico, where the movie was filmed.
Certainly we will have a lot more information leading up to the Rust trial, but as of now, how do you think things will shake out for Alec Baldwin? Give us your thoughts in the comments below.

Paging Don Johson! Report to the set of Ryan Murphy’s new ABC drama series, Dr. Odyssey, to join Joshua Jackson on a medical emergency! That’s right, patients. Don Johnson (Miami Vice, Knives Out) is scrubbing up for Murphy’s mysterious new project, Dr. Odyssey, which could be a medical procedural. The 20th Century Studios series targets a fall launch, with Ryan Murphy Television leading the charge.
While details about the show remain a mystery, reports indicate it’s a medical procedural aboard a cruise ship. If we know Murphy, there’s more than ship-wide food poisoning on the menu. Details about Johnson’s character remain unknown.
Murphy will write Dr. Odyssey and executive produce with Jon Robin Baitz and Joe Baken. Paris Barclay (Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood, Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, American Horror Story) directs and executive produces Dr. Odyssey. Eric Paquette, Alexis Martin Woodall, Eric Kovtun, Scott Robertson, and Nissa Diederich also executive produce alongside Jackson.
We’re big fans of Don Johnson in these parts, especially JoBlo’s editor-in-chief, Chris Bumbray. Famously known for playing Detective James Crockett in the Miami Vice TV series, Johnson also starred as Inspector Nash Bridges opposite Cheech Marin’s Inspector/Lieutenant Joe Dominguez in the Nash Bridges TV series. Johnson recently played Judd Crawford in the outstanding Watchmen TV series and as Rick in the Kenan Thompson-led comedy series Kenan. Johnson also plays Arthur in the Book Club films, Book Club, and Book Club: The Next Chapter.
Murphy has other television projects, including A Chorus Line, Grotesquerie, Consent, The Watcher, the TV movie One Hit Wonders, American Sports Story, and an Untitled Marlene Dietrich Netflix Project.
Do you have any predictions about the plot or tone of Dr. Odyssey? What kind of medical horrors could unfold on the high seas? Are you a fan of cruise ships? You wouldn’t catch me dead on one of those floating death traps. I’m not a boat person in general. I don’t like to be stuck in a confined space with people. In the comments section below, let us know what you think Dr. Odyssey is about and who Don Johnson’s character will be.
