guilty of involuntary manslaughter<\/a> back in early March. And on Monday, a judge handed down the maximum sentence to Gutierrez-Reed, citing her lack of remorse as one reason for that penalty.<\/p>\n\u201cYour attorney had to tell the court you were remorseful,\u201d the judge said at the sentencing, later adding, \u201cYou were the armorer who stood between a safe weapon and a weapon that could kill someone. But for you, she would be alive.\u201d<\/p>\n
The March verdict was reached after only a few hours of deliberation, and Gutierrez-Reed was immediately taken into custody. Afterward her attorney promised an appeal in the case. Gutierrez-Reed was also found not guilty on an evidence tampering charge for allegedly passing off a bag of cocaine the day of the fatal set shooting.<\/p>\n
After Monday\u2019s verdict, the special prosecutor in charge told Fox News that prosecutors \u201crespect the judge\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been a difficult case,\u201d Kari T. Morrissey said. \u201cBut taking responsibility I think is critical in the criminal justice system and that was something that unfortunately was lacking from Miss Gutierrez.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the Fox report, \u201cIn recorded jail phone conversations with her mother, boyfriend and her attorney\u2019s paralegal, Gutierrez-Reed called jurors \u2018idiots\u2019 and \u2018a\u2014holes\u2019 while complaining about the length of time it took them to deliberate, according to a recent filing by prosecutors. Also in the phone calls,<\/strong>\u00a0she said that she would not testify in Baldwin\u2019s upcoming criminal trial if subpoenaed and that she wants him to go to jail,<\/strong>\u00a0too.<\/p>\nDuring the trial, prosecutors acknowledged that Alec Baldwin, who actually fired the shot that killed Hutchins, had a history of poor gun handling on set. But, they said, that didn\u2019t absolve the armorer\u2019s part in the tragedy.<\/p>\n
\u201cHannah Gutierrez knew that Baldwin was loose. She knew it,\u201d Morrissey told the jury. \u201cShe didn\u2019t do anything about it, even though it was her job. It was her job. It is her job to say to an A-list actor, if in fact, that\u2019s what you want to call him, \u2018Hey, you can\u2019t behave that way with those firearms.\u2019 That is her job. That is what they pay her for. That is the job that she applied for. That is the job that she accepted.\u201d<\/p>\n
Baldwin, who pulled the trigger on the live round while pointing the gun at Hutchins, has also been charged with involuntary manslaughter and is accused of causing Hutchins\u2019s death either by negligence or \u201ctotal disregard or indifference\u201d for safety. He has pleaded not guilty, and his trial will begin in July.<\/p>\n
