A New Mexico judge denied a request Friday to use immunity to compel a movie set armorer to testify at actor Alec Baldwin’s involuntary manslaughter trial for the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on a movie set for the Western film “Rust.”
Earlier this year, armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to 18 months in prison for her part in the 2021 shooting death of Halyna Hutchins. Her statements to investigators and workplace safety regulators are expected to weigh heavily in Mr. Baldwin’s trial.
