Judge Gives Rust Armorer 18 Months in Prison
An allocution is a detailed admission of every act the defendant committed. It's more than a plea, it's a narrative confessing guilt step-by-step. Sometimes it's required as part of a plea. Guuterrez-Reed was found guilty by a jury, though. I think New Mexico allows a defendant to make an allocution post-verdict to take responsibility for the crime, and get a reduced sentence if the judge approves. The judge did not approve.
Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer on the set of "Rust" who was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter after cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot on set and died, was sentenced to the maximum penalty of 18 months in prison on Monday. Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer gave the maximum sentence as Gutierrez-Reed did not "take accountability in her allocution," did not apologize for what she did and is not remorseful for her role, adding: "Your attorney had to tell the court you were remorseful."
... Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in March following a trial that revolved around whether she neglected safety protocols with live ammunition loaded into the prop gun. The state prosecutors said before Monday's sentencing Gutierrez-Reed "continues to refuse to accept responsibility for her role in the death of Halyna Hutchins" and instead has placed blame on witnesses, jurors, the set medic and more. ... At the start of the sentencing, prosecutor Kari Morrissey claimed Gutierrez-Reed's jail phone calls showed her real character. NBC News reported that in calls with her mother, boyfriend and the paralegal for her attorney, Gutierrez-Reed said jurors were "idiots" and "a**holes" and complained about how long it took them to deliberate.Sentencing the armorer to 18 months in jail makes it very hard for the state to give Alec Baldwin a sweetheart deal and sentence him to a month of community service on MSNBC. After all, he's the guy who actually fired the fatal bullet, and he is just as negligent as Guitterez-Reed. But I trust The Regime to find a way to say "no intent."

Eh, I doubt it. She'll be okay, but probably will never be an armorer again.
But something tells me she won't serve 18 months. When they give Baldwin "community service" filming some gun-control PSAs, her lawyers will appeal and she'll be be quietly released after they reduce her sentence to six months with time served.

I haven't been following the case, and while Gutierrez-Reed sounds like a real peach, the idea that the amount of time you spend incarcerated comes down to whether some dipshit judge who very likely ignores ICE detainers believes your forced apology is absurd.

Tony Stewart accelerated to fling mud on a young kid and ended up sucking him up with the rear tire and flinging him to his death. NASCAR wanted Stewart back in the car that weekend to race. No charges were ever filed. The kid was found to have THC in his system, therefore he earned his death according to the courts.
Vince Neil drove his Pantera while drunk, lost control at high speed and killed his passenger after wrapping the car around a phone poll. He served no time nor was punished for his deeds.
They live a completely different set of rules than the rest of us.

"Sentencing the armorer to 18 months in jail makes it very hard for the state to give Alec Baldwin a sweetheart deal and sentence him to a month of community service on MSNBC. "
I hope you're right, but I fear the opposite: the heavy sentence for the armorer is to assign scapegoaty blame on someone other than Baldwin and close the matter. "See? It was the armorer's fault. She got 18 months! Let's move on . . . ."
The armorer was negligent and deserves some of the blame. But Baldwin was the fucking idiot who shot the women. And to this day I am 100% convinced that it did not go down like he claims.
Remember that someone else also got shot. How did that happen? I've never seen a satisfactory explanation for how Baldwin was doing what he claims to have been doing, and one person ends up dead and another shot. The whole thing is a yuge stinky cover-up.

Yup. Back when I was in school, some famous dude got away with something. I forget who and what it was, but one of my classmates commented - in full conformity with the official ideology - "it's disgusting that the rich get away with stuff like this."
I told her, "not at all. Rich people have an easier time in court because they can afford better lawyers, but it's celebrities that have always get away with it. You don't have to be rich, you just have to be famous."
There is *nothing* in the United States as powerful as celebrity. You have to *really* and very, very serious fuck up to face consequences if you're a celebrity. You have to be really, really bad - like dodge your taxes.

So, sports betting is suddenly legal in NC as of a few weeks ago, and the radio has been blaring with ads for an assortment of them. They all have promos going where you place a $5 bet, and then you get three figures in extra betting money.
The idea is to get you hooked, but I wonder if it's possible to place the $5 bet, get the $150 promo (some seem to go up to $250), place it on some kind of 1:1 odds matchup, and then cashout with at least a good portion of the promo amount.

Maybe it was answered during the trial? How in the hades did live ammunition show up on the set and get loaded into the weapon? She was the armorer, and it is her responsibility for the safe use of weaponry on the set. Baldwin did point and pull the trigger. I guess those four rules concerning firearm safety that the "evil" NRA, GOA and others preaches are just BS to Baldwin...?

That may be true but is a different issue.
The one thing I've thought about is that at some point, if that loaded gun was assigned to Alec, he was actually going to pull that trigger during filming eventually.
That bullet shouldn't have been there, and it was destined for someone in the future. If he hadn't been fucking around, it wouldn't have been the cinematographer, but might have been a co-star.

early off topic but i thunk it was worth mentioning: from us news and word retort:
Attorney General Merrick Garland told lawmakers on Tuesday that President Joe Biden has shown no signs of cognitive impairment while defending Biden's ability to serve as commander in chief.
Garland, appearing before a House committee overseeing funding for the Justice Department, was answering questions on the report from special counsel Robert Hur about Biden's handling of classified material. Hur's report concluded in no criminal charges yet made some observations about Biden's mental state that infuriated the Democratic president and his aides.
The attorney general, while stressing that he was not commenting on the specifics of Hur's analysis, said that based on his own observations while interacting with Biden, he has "complete confidence in the president" when it comes to questions about his mental fitness.

She was the armorer, and it is her responsibility for the safe use of weaponry on the set. Baldwin did point and pull the trigger.
My take on this is that if Baldwin had followed the script and the script called for firing the weapon at someone else on stage the armorer would be to blame.
But...he didn't follow the script. He threatened someone just because he's an asshole then pointed a gun at that person and pulled the trigger.

I think New Mexico allows a defendant to make an allocution post-verdict to take responsibility for the crime, and get a reduced sentence if the judge approves.

I am not licensed to practice law in New Mexico, nor am I a lawyer, but I did watch "Better Call Saul" twice. This is correct.

Sentencing the armorer to 18 months in jail makes it very hard for the state to give Alec Baldwin a sweetheart deal and sentence him to a month of community service on MSNBC. After all, he's the guy who actually fired the fatal bullet, and he is just as negligent as Guitterez-Reed.
In a contest of who showed the least amount of remorse, and since that is the determining factor on the length of sentencing, you would think a highly acclaimed actor could fake some remorse - but no, Alec spent years denying everything, but because we have a profoundly corrupt and dysfunctionaljustice legal court [control system, Alec will walk.

What we have here, is a failure to communicate.
Non gun people will find her guilty all day long.
Gun people KNOW it's the person who is holding the gun's responsibility NO MATTER WHAT.
A little exercise:
I hand you a gun and tell you it's empty and to point it at your child's head and pull the trigger.
Do you listen to me or do you check it?
If you check it, it's because you don't trust me.
(As you shouldn't)
If you don't check it and you believe me, you are a dumb ass.

The civil case is separate and can be brought regardless of the criminal trial result, I believe.
An acquittal in the criminal case would have no bearing on the civil case, since the standard of proof in a criminal case is 'beyond a reasonable doubt' but the standard in a civil case is 'by a preponderance of the evidence.' Thus, it is theoretically consistent that a criminal jury could acquit, but a civil jury could impose liability based on exactly the same evidence. It just means that the evidence was just strong enough to meet the lower civil standard, but not strong enough to meet the higher criminal one.

We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Baldwin would likely present himself to a jury as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.

But...he didn't follow the script. He threatened someone just because he's an asshole then pointed a gun at that person and pulled the trigger.
Posted by: 18-1 at April
According to him, he was asked to point the gun at her for a particular camera shot - to see if it would play better than how the script was written. That “down the barrel” shot isn’t unusual. What is, however, is that blanks were mixed with live ammo, and Alec had his big fat finger on the trigger, whether he says he did or not (even if he checked first, would he have known this was live versus a blank? I don’t even know. I would hope so). Do I think he pulled it on purpose? No. I think he is dumb and was careless on a lot of levels in this case and many others on that set. In this case, the consequences were horrific.

If she means it in the adjective sense - as in, "he is intellectual" - with synonyms like "erudite" or "smart" or "intelligent" - then no, not at all.
If she means it in the noun sense - as in, "he is an intellectual" - then yes, absolutely. I have no use for intellectuals. So-called "intellectuals" - especially the self-described variety - have been a corrosive force on civilization for centuries and have a very strong track record of balls-to-the-wall insanity and personal immorality that has left the wreckage of civilizations in their wakes.

I believe the last time I saw Katie Couric it was what you might call an "inside view" - they were pushing a camera up her a$$ (I think whatever the program was, the procedure was to raise awareness of colon cancer; if I'm not mistaken, her sister died from that malady). I only watched a few seconds of that, having accidentally stumbled across it while I was channel surfing; I'm pretty sure, though, that I did catch a glimpse of her head in there.

Yes. Those weren't prop guns. They're real guns.
So during down time they'd load them up and shoot up the desert. Typical gun fun.
So it really was up to the armorer to make damn sure after these little excursions that every single gun was emptied, the gun was tagged as emptied, and then set aside to be loaded with blanks or not for the next scenes needing them.
She did not.

Beetlejuice came out the same summer as Ghostbusters, I think, 1984. You mean Baldwin has been in the biz for forty years???

Snipes was sentenced to three fucking years in prison. Twice what the armorer got and almost certainly more than what Baldwin will get for killing a woman. And Snipes did almost all the time: he served 28 months.

Plus, Winona did a really good job playing a weird/eccentric girl. While still looking hot.

99 Noticing the crew of this film, why did Alec Baldwin have so many seemingly unqualified young girls working on his set?
Posted by: Big Fat Meanie
Because he was bankrolling this film himself. So he went cheap with friends’ offspring, th owe just starting out and willing to take anything to break into the business, etc. HG is the daughter of a very well known, and qualified, armorer. He asked Alec to give her a chance. Her instagram influencer career wasn’t panning out and dad told her you need a jobby job. She knew her way around a weapon. But I don’t think she really wanted to actually work and preferred attention to her versus attention to detail.

Because they pretty much have to in order to be realistic.
I suppose one could build a replica of an old Colt Single Action that only accepts blanks, but it would be expensive to make it look right, and you'd have to manufacture one of these for every kind of weapon used in any movie. It's much more cost-effective to use real guns and leave them in the hands of a competent film armorer.
One part of this equation was sadly missing on the Rust set.

183 It's also the sound and muzzle blasts. Hard to replicate with CGI. So they're firing real guns with real ammo (albeit blanks) on set.

During the sound mixing of Heat, Michael Mann looked at his sound guy during his first draft of the downtown gun fight.
He had replaced all of the on set sound effects with typical bangs from guns.
"That's not at all what it sounded like," Mann said. The audio in the final film is the original audio from the set.

Da Judge: "Thank you, Mr. Baldwin. A human life was lost and you bear partial responsibility for this. Acceptance of responsibility is crucial to redemption. I take you at your word and hereby sentence you to 50 hours of community service. I direct your attorney to arrange for you to be put on the same crew with Meredith of Gray's Anatomy, who is also serving Community Service and is making a difference by acknowledgement and acceptance of her role."

I suppose one could build a replica of an old Colt Single Action that only accepts blanks, but it would be expensive to make it look right, and you'd have to manufacture one of these for every kind of weapon used in any movie. It's much more cost-effective to use real guns and leave them in the hands of a competent film armorer.
One part of this equation was sadly missing on the Rust set.
Posted by: ballistic
You don't "make" anything.
You take a Colt replica, a Ruger Vaquero, or a half dozen other makers and you slug (fill) the barrels.
You crimp the ends of the ammo so the powder doesn't fall out. Down along the underside of the barrel before where the slugging starts, you vent it so gasses can escape.
Flames and smoke are added post production.
Semi autos NEED a barrel obstruction to even make a blank cycle the slide.

All this judgement does is convince me that Baldwin will get off scot-free. The guilty party, the armorer, has been identified and severely punished. They'll rule that all the fault belongs with the armorer. Baldwin thought he was firing harmless blanks, and wouldn't have fired the gun had he known it was loaded.

The DOJ said in its response to the high court that while Idaho's law makes it a felony for a doctor to terminate a pregnancy unless doing so is "necessary" to prevent the patient's "death," that exception is "narrower" than EMTALA, which by its terms "protects patients not only from imminent death but also from emergencies that seriously threaten their health."
Emergency physicians never make emergency abortion clinic transfers.
The only possible scenario i can imagine where one would have to debate between life of mom or abortion is pre-eclampsia that develops before 24 weeks gestation. And that is exceptionally rare.

She should have quit the production as the unsafe conditions grew from poor manangement of the production operations. Baldwin failed as the producer for his mismanagement of the safety for the crew, lack of support for safe practices, and failed personally as the individual who actually committed manslaughter. He should get ten times what the armorer got for a sentence.

You don't "make" anything.
You take a Colt replica, a Ruger Vaquero, or a half dozen other makers and you slug (fill) the barrels.
You crimp the ends of the ammo so the powder doesn't fall out. Down along the underside of the barrel before where the slugging starts, you vent it so gasses can escape.
Flames and smoke are added post production.
Semi autos NEED a barrel obstruction to even make a blank cycle the slide.

All true. However, some company in Miami sells guns made to fire blanks only that are NOT safe to convert to shoot regular ammunition. Max Armory is the name.
Under the right circumstances, blanks can be as dangerous as live ammo at contact range due to very hot gas being expelled at a very fast velocity plus they usually have wadding at the end to retain the powder in the cartridge.

“The state’s final workplace-safety order states that Rust Movie Productions “did not furnish a place of employment free from hazards in that employees were exposed to being struck by discharged rounds or projectiles when firearms were used on the set of the motion picture production.”
Safety violations are categorized as “serious” — and not “willful-serious,” as initially alleged.
In April 2022, New Mexico’s Occupational Health and Safety Bureau slapped Rust Movie Productions with a maximum $136,793 fine while distributing a scathing narrative of safety failures in violation of standard industry protocols, including testimony that production managers took limited or no action to address two misfires on set before the fatal shooting.”
Alec is Rust Movie Productions. So who is responsible?

I'd be hard pressed to allocute with remorse when most of the fault lies with some other jackass, but they threw the book at her and essentially piled most of the blame on her.
Makes it easier to say Baldwin isn't to blame and it was more the armourers fault. He was an innocent bystander in all of this firing a gun he didn't think was loaded at a person.

For civil liability, as producer of the movie, Alec is legally responsible for the acts of his 'agents' including Alec the actor. A wrongful death suit then by the estate of the cinematographer (and other guy that was injure) sue Baldwin in his role as producer. I assume that Baldwin had liability insurance but that can sometimes get sticky over willful misconduct that is a whole nother kettle of fish.

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the armorer is being paid under the table to be so unremorseful. Let the court and public get it out of its system.
I'd be hard pressed to allocute with remorse when most of the fault lies with some other jackass, but they threw the book at her and essentially piled most of the blame on her.

“The state’s final workplace-safety order states that Rust Movie Productions “did not furnish a place of employment free from hazards in that employees were exposed to being struck by discharged rounds or projectiles when firearms were used on the set of the motion picture production.”
Safety violations are categorized as “serious” — and not “willful-serious,” as initially alleged.
In April 2022, New Mexico’s Occupational Health and Safety Bureau slapped Rust Movie Productions with a maximum $136,793 fine while distributing a scathing narrative of safety failures in violation of standard industry protocols, including testimony that production managers took limited or no action to address two misfires on set before the fatal shooting.”
Alec is Rust Movie Productions. So who is responsible?
Where does it say rust is his exclusively?

But she's young and entitled and wasn't taking her responsibilities seriously and so now another young woman is dead.
In other nooz....8 more workdays to retirement....

Brandon Lee was killed when a prior live round was caught in the barrel and then fired out of the gun when a blank was shot. He might have survived but since he was supposed to get shot and fall down in the scene, it took a while for the crew to realize he'd been actually shot.

She obviously had no idea on how to be a set armorer; apparently it isn't something that you learn by osmosis. That the hazards of letting the cast and crew get in the habit of putting live ammo in the "prop" firearm never occurred to her, speaks volumes.
While she may work in Hollywood again, I'm doubtful that she will ever be allowed to touch a firearm as a set armorer: she's a proven risk.

If they find Baldwin guilty, I would pay the judge to end her sentencing with "You are worthress Arec Bawdwin!"

Only saw The Crow once but remembered thinking that it was the perfect send up for the genre. Not sure that's what was intended, however.

Donaldo Trimp must be stoped and prisoned for breaking the law. Double RICO. Mann Action. Sodomy without a Permit in Bergdorf. Joe Bibem will heal this cuntry and do the good thing.

Alec Baldwin is guilty of murder. The ONLY way that weapon can discharge is for the inner components to be cycled through their intended purpose. He is also guilty of gross carelessness in the handling of that firearm.
Nothing more need be said concerning the event. Each and everyone no matter who that has a working knowledge of that particular firearm is aware of those facts.

"[Baldwin] is just as negligent as Guitterez-Reed. "
Someone explain this to me. Yeah, he pulled the trigger on a prop gun loaded with a blank (as far as he knew), which was required by the scene he was shooting. I've not seen any explanation from anyone on how that could make him liable.

169 What no one has explained to me is why movie guns accept live ammo.

Because they pretty much have to in order to be realistic.
I suppose one could build a replica of an old Colt Single Action that only accepts blanks, but it would be expensive to make it look right, and you'd have to manufacture one of these for every kind of weapon used in any movie. It's much more cost-effective to use real guns and leave them in the hands of a competent film armorer.
You could slug the barrel, but that would be damned dangerous for the pulling the trigger on a live round. Deservedly, yes, but still...
Just modify the cylinder. You know why you can't load a .357 round into a .38 revolver? Because the .357 brass is longer, and the hole in the cylinder is machined with a step the thickness of the brass at the shorter length of the .38 round.
Reverse this. An insert thick enough to interfere with the the bullet is welded in from the barrel end just short of the brass length.. The felt wad will blow right past it,big bang, flame and smoke out the end, but any brass with an actual bullet in it can't be inserted.

So, 18 months for involuntary murder but the Crumbley's are sentenced to 10 to 15 years for the same crime in Michigan. WTF?
