“Rust” armorer Hannah Gutierrez was given the maximum sentence of 18 months in prison for involuntary manslaughter in the 2021 fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Gutierrez’s attorneys asked for probation in a sentencing memorandum filed last week, citing her “complete lack of prior criminal history” and “relative youth.” Prosecutors meanwhile requested a sentence of 18 months with the designation of serious violent offender due to her “extreme recklessness” while working as an armorer on the “Rust” set in New Mexico.
“You alone turned a safe weapon into a lethal weapon,” Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer said. “But for you, Ms. Hutchins would be alive. A husband would have his partner, and a little boy would have his mother.”
The judge slammed Gutierrez for her lack of remorse, noting that she only indicated she was sorry Hutchins had died, but took no accountability herself.
Gutierrez had stated, “Your honor, when I took on ‘Rust’ I was young and I was naive. But I took my job as seriously as I knew how to, despite not having proper time, resources and staffing, I just did my best to handle it. Today I humbly ask you to consider probation. … I beg you, please don’t give me more time.”
“My heart aches for the Hutchins family and friends and colleagues, as well,” Gutierrez also said.
