Judgment for Waffenmeister von Rust confirmed: no discharge from detention

The legal disputes about the deadly incident on the set of the film "Rust", in which the camera hedgehog Halyna Hutchins was killed by a shot from Alec Baldwin, continues to cause excitement. Hannah Gutierrez, the weapon master of the film, now remains in prison after a judicial decision. This decision was announced by the court on Monday (local time) when judge Mary Marlowe Sommer rejected her application for a new procedure.

The incident occurred in October 2021 during filming in New Mexico, as a Baldwin with a weapon that was accidentally invited with a sharp ammunition, fatally injured Hutchins. Gutierrez was responsible for the safety precautions on the set at the time of the accident, including the handling of weapons. Her conviction for negligent killing led to an 18-month prison sentence after it was found that a sharp ball was loaded into the weapon, but the source of which was unclear.

No new process for goodworth

Hannah Gutierrez had hoped to be able to reopen the legal assessment against him in the course of the cessation of the procedure against Baldwin. Your legal team argued that the evidence had not been sufficiently taken into account and that a new process was necessary. However, the court found that she could not prove that a re -evaluation of the evidence had led to another judgment. For the time being, this judgment seals Fate 'fate, while Baldwin will not be held responsible for the incidents because his process was stopped in July.

The situation for Baldwin is particularly explosive, since the judge also found considerable defects in the security of evidence by the public prosecutor. This had held back decisive evidence that might have influenced the outcome of the procedure. While Baldwin is now freed from criminal allegations, Gutierrez has to live with the consequences of their responsibility.

In a further step in their defense, Gutierrez ’lawyers are now striving to contest the decision of the court, since they believe that the circumstances and evidence must be re -evaluated. The ambiguity of how the sharp ammunition could get into the weapon remains a central concern in this tragic case, which the film industry is terrifying in front of the challenges in the handling of weapons while filming.

How the legal disputes will develop must now be observed. The tragedy of "Rust" not only affected the careers of those involved, but also initiated a discussion about security standards in the film industry, which could result in future -oriented consequences.
