Hannah Gutierrez-Reed is the sole remaining defendant in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
SANTA FE, N.M. — A New Mexico judge told attorneys to “stay the course” on charges including involuntary manslaughter against a movie weapons supervisor in the 2021 shooting death of a cinematographer by Alec Baldwin during a rehearsal for the film “Rust,” rejecting on Tuesday a request from defense counsel to dismiss charges.
Sommer rejected the arguments and sided with prosecutors, who urged the court to move forward with a preliminary hearing that will decide whether evidence is sufficient to advance toward trial.Prosecutors have said charges still could be refiled against Baldwin pending further investigation, including an ongoing independent examination by a firearms expert.
A photograph of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins is seen during a vigil in her honor in Albuquerque, N.M., shortly after she was killed.In April prosecutors commissioned additional weapons testing to investigate whether the hammer of the gun used in the fatal shooting may have been intentionally modified.“We don’t have the firearms report yet, although they told me that it’s forthcoming. I hope to have it by the end of the week,” special prosecutor Kari Morrissey said Tuesday.
Separately, prosecutors withdrew a motion to shield the name of a witness from public disclosure as they pursue an evidence-tampering charge against Gutierrez-Reed.that Gutierrez-Reed handed off a small bag of narcotics to the witness after returning from an interview at a police station. In previous court filings, prosecutors said the witness was worried about being harassed by media and blacklisted in the entertainment industry.
