Lawyers seek new trial, release for Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed

The long, upsetting saga of 26-year-old Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed may be getting another chapter. After 10 frustrating days of back-and-forth testimony in court, Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter earlier this month.

This new-found hope for Gutierrez-Reed rests on the fact that the jury was asked to consider whether the armorer had loaded Baldwin’s gun with live ammunition “and/or” that she failed to properly check the ammunition. Her lawyers, Jason Bowles and Monnica Barreras, are contending the phrase “and/or” allowed a conviction to be passed down even if the jury wasn’t unanimous on either act. The strength of Bowles and Barreras’ appeal lies in a recent New Mexico Supreme Court verdict.
