A New Mexico judge has upheld the involuntary manslaughter conviction of movie armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed in connection with the tragic shooting incident on the set of the film 'Rust,' where cinematographer Halyna Hutchins lost her life. The incident occurred when actor Alec Baldwin discharged a firearm during a rehearsal, resulting in Hutchins' death and director Joel Souza's injury.
Gutierrez-Reed had sought to have her conviction dismissed or a new trial convened, citing alleged misconduct and evidence suppression by law enforcement. However, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer ruled in favor of upholding the conviction, which was handed down by a jury earlier this year.
