Attorneys for "Rust" movie armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed have filed a motion for a new trial or dismissal of her case following the dramatic dismissal of Alec Baldwin's case in the 2021 fatal shooting of a cinematographer on set. The motion cites "egregious prosecutorial misconduct" and discovery violations. Gutierrez Reed's lawyers argue that evidence withheld in Baldwin's case should also apply to her case. They claim crucial evidence, including ammunition sources and firearm experts' reports, was suppressed. Baldwin's case collapsed due to withheld evidence proving an external source of live ammunition. Gutierrez Reed's defense emphasizes that she was scapegoated for safety failures by film set management. The motion argues that the court's dismissal of Baldwin's case should also apply to Gutierrez Reed's, as both cases suffered from severe discovery abuses, violating her due process rights.
