Partial police interview with Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.

Now you can see what an idiot 'armorer' looks like and the ignorance she possesses.

Hannah Reed police interview

Here's the police interview with the supplier of the guns and 'ammo' for the set.

Interview with Seth Kenny, guns and ammo supplier to "Rust"

 

Anyone catch that there were live and dummy rounds at the prop shop too (second link)?  Sounds like the entire industry needs a safety protocol makeover.

I saw this on the news tonight. Charges have been reduced for both Baldwin and Reed. If convicted, the max jail time they can get is 18 months. Wanna bet that will be probation? 

I'm not surprised that the firearms enhancement charge was dropped since this was an involuntary manslaughter case.

Charges against Baldwin have been dropped.

https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2023-04-20/rust-prosecutors-drop-charges-against-alec-baldwin

”The stunning development comes after prosecutors received new information into the case — that the gun that Baldwin used had been modified before being delivered to the low-budget western in October 2021, the sources said.

The replica of the vintage weapon — a Colt 45 revolver — had been fitted with a new trigger, making it possible for it to misfire, as Baldwin has said, according to the sources.”

 

But there’s more…

”The actor denied pulling the trigger, although an FBI report later concluded that the gun could not have been fired without the trigger being pulled.”

BULLSH!T 🤬

Just because the trigger was replaced doesn't make the gun more likely to misfire. In all likelihood the trigger was replaced because it was misfiring. I doubt a gun rental company would have incompetent gunsmiths working on their guns. 

Unless physically broken, that still doesn't dismiss the fact that the trigger has to be pulled all the way back to get past the half cock notch on the hammer. The FBI determined that the gun was in perfect operating order. 

Once again the rich and famous get away with murder. 💩

At least we have the satisfaction of knowing his career is dead as a hammer.

He is still listed as part of Rust, oh and her husband:

Quote

The prosecution suffered another setback last fall when Hutchins’ widower, Matthew Hutchins, settled his wrongful death civil case against Baldwin and the other “Rust” producers. Hutchins called the tragedy “a terrible accident,” and he joined the film project as an executive producer.

Production of “Rust” has resumed at the Yellowstone Film Ranch in Montana.

Another case where celebrity gets special treatment.  And it’s not the first time for Baldwin. 
So much negligence.  Baldwin should have been charged properly.  Can’t stand him!
The armorer may not be so lucky.
