Hannah Gutierrez Reed's demand for a new trial after being convicted of involuntary manslaughter will be an 'uphill battle,' an expert told Fox News Digital. The 'Rust' armorer will return to court Friday to argue for a new trial and an immediate release from prison. Gutierrez Reed faces up to 18 months in prison, in addition to a $5,000 fine, after a jury convicted her of involuntary manslaughter in early March in the shooting of Halyna Hutchins on the set of 'Rust.
If Gutierrez Reed is granted a new trial, she could be acquitted. 'It would be a new jury,' Brosnahan explained. 'There would have been a pall cast over the first jury because of the judge granting a new trial and instructions in the new trial that the jury should disregard anything that they know about any prior proceedings. Those words ‘prior proceedings’ are usually the ones used, so I think she’d have a decent chance at acquittal.
Bowles claimed there were factors outside of Gutierrez Reed's control that occurred on set, leading to the fatal shooting. 'Whoever put the live round on set and then Mr. Baldwin, in the end, going off script and doing what he did,' the lawyer said. 'Those are outside events outside of Ms. Gutierrez Reed's control that she didn't know was going to happen.'
