The armorer on the film “Rust” will serve 18 months in prison on a charge of involuntary manslaughter in the 2021 death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
The sentence it’s the maximum Hannah Gutierrez-Reed could receive, according to The New York Times. Hutchins was killed when actor Alec Baldwin fired a gun containing a live round on the set of the movie.
In March, Gutierrez-Reed was convicted of putting the live round in the gun. During her trial last month, she was painted as reckless on the set. An armorer is responsible for managing weapons and ammunition on a movie set.
The sentencing came after prosecutors released bits and pieces of calls Gutierrez-Reed made after her conviction while she was in jail.
