With the conviction of Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez on Wednesday of involuntary manslaughter, attention is now turning to actor Alec Baldwin, whose trial for his alleged role in the shooting death of cinematographer Haylna Hutchins is set to take place in July.
On Wednesday, Hutchins family expressed their satisfaction with the guilty verdict for Gutierrez.
The family’s attorneys said: “Halyna’s parents and her sister have always wanted everyone who is responsible for Halyna’s death to be held accountable.
“We look forward to the justice system continuing to make sure that everyone else who is responsible for Halyna’s death is required to face the legal consequences for their actions.”
The judge remanded Gutierezz in custody ahead of her sentencing, which is not expected for a few weeks. She faces a maximum of 18 months in prison.
Baldwin’s upcoming trial comes after New Mexico prosecutors revived the case against the actor after previously dropping charges last year.
The decision to revive the case came after prosecutors said “additional facts have come to light” following an “extensive” investigation they carried out in recent months.
