“Rust” armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed has filed a motion for her conviction to be overturned or be granted a new trial following the dismissal of actor Alec Baldwin’s involuntary manslaughter case.

Ms. Gutierrez Reed, who was responsible for firearm safety and storage on set, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter earlier this year and sentenced to 18 months in prison.
