, has been sentenced to 18 months in prison over the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was shot when actor Alec Baldwin was handling a gun during the film’s production in 2021.
Hutchins’ friends from the film industry paid tribute to her creativity and kindness from the courtroom and over video. They also lambasted Gutierrez-Reed’s breaches in firearms safety protocol. The shooting, which stunned Hollywood, is believed to be the first time in modern cinema that a member of a film crew or cast was killed by a live round accidentally loaded into a gun.
Gutierrez-Reed’s lawyer Jason Bowles requested she be given probation, but prosecutors argued for a full 18 months after saying she lacked remorse.“I beg you please don’t give me more time,” Gutierrez-Reed told the court, adding that her heart ached for Hutchins’ family. “The jury has found me at fault for this tragedy but that doesn’t make me a monster, that makes me human.”
