The "Rust" armorer on duty during the criminal accidental killing of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the "Rust" set has been charged with involuntary manslaughter. She also got acquitted of charges of tampering with evidence because she had moved a small bag of cocaine after the crime.

The jury deliberated for nearly three hours before reaching their decision. Gutierrez-Reed did not address the jury, nor did she display a reaction when the verdict was read. She faces up to 18 months in prison and a $5,000 fine.

Prosecutors for Gutierrez-Reed said her decision to "stand trial" has added to awareness about how safe movie sets are. The prosecution said that Hutchins died in "a lost moment of safety" and "never should have died," applying a constant theme that Gutierrez-Reed's recklessness and near-constant safety violations made her. fatally ill-suited for the job. Also at the same time, a defense attorney argued for Gutierrez-Reed, who said she could not have known what Alec Baldwin was going to do and said management of the film company is to blame.

Gutierrez Reed is still to file an appeal even after there comes out no positively. The result is incurred positively. Baldwin is going to court in July to answer to charges of involuntary killing.

Over 30 witnesses that included the film team and police officers presented their evidence during the trial. The trial so far had revealed that at the time of the shooting, there were no safety rules being observed, and questions have been raised previously on the issue of guns.

Closing arguments: Prosecutors, in their closing statements, underscored Reed's job as the person responsible for setting up gun safety and out front for Baldwin's actions that day, saying they were careless and exacerbated a terrible event.

The trial pointed out the need for stricter safety regulations within the film industry and sensitized people more toward the need for the correct methods of gun handling.
