Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the armorer for the film “Rust,” has requested her release from prison, citing “bombshell exculpatory evidence” that could have impacted her involuntary manslaughter trial. Her attorneys filed a motion on June 27, claiming that prosecutors concealed critical evidence that could have favored her defense.
This motion coincides with an imminent ruling by a New Mexico judge, expected on June 28, on whether to dismiss a manslaughter charge against actor Alec Baldwin related to the on-set shooting during the filming of “Rust.”
