Hannah Gutierrez-Reed is set to be sentenced on 15 April for the charge, which carries a maximum penalty of 18 months in prison and a $5,000 (£3,900) fine.
A weapons armourer on the film set of Rust has asked for a new involuntary manslaughter trial and to be released from prison. Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty after a two-week trial in Santa Fe, New Mexico, after the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins, 42, on the western film set in October 2021. 'Ms Gutierrez-Reed is requesting this court vacate her conviction and order new trial,' lawyers Jason Bowles and Monnica Barreras said, in an emergency motion.
Among the claims, it is alleged state prosecutors gave the grand jury instruction on involuntary manslaughter that 'unfairly stacked the deck against Baldwin', who was re-charged with involuntary manslaughter in January and will go on trial in July. The Hollywood actor faces two counts of manslaughter, one for negligent use of a firearm and another for failure to exercise due caution - and faces a maximum of 18 months in prison if found guilty.
