'Rust' Armorer Convicted, Alec Baldwin Next?

<p>Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer in charge of the guns in the film "Rust," has been found guilty of manslaughter in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.</p> <p>Hutchins was killed when star Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun during rehearsal loaded with live ammo instead of a blank round. Reports say first assistant director David Halls picked up one of the three prop guns that had been set up by armorer Hannah Gutierrez and yelled, “Cold gun.”</p> <p>"Cold gun" is industry slang meaning the gun did not contain live rounds. Halls gave the gun to Baldwin who was using the gun to rehearse a scene. The search warrant said Baldwin was aiming the weapon at the camera when he fired, striking Hutchins and Souza.</p> <p>Reports have surfaced that the weapon was used for target practice by crew members that morning. Gutierrez Reed faces up to 18 months in prison at sentencing in April. </p> <p>Baldwin has also been charged. His trial starts in July. </p> <p>Joining Nancy Grace today:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://stophimfromkillingthem.com/">Paul Szych</a> – Former Police Commander (Albuquerque, NM), APD Domestic Violence and Stalking Unit; Author: “Stop Him From KillingThem;” X: @WorkplaceThreatt; Screen Actors Guild-Eligible Actor (experience using firearms with blanks during live-action movie scenes/Terminator: Salvation)</li> <li><a href="http://www.romanolaw.com">Domenic Romano</a> - NY Corporate Lawyer and Entertainment Attorney, Romano Law </li> <li><a href="http://www.panthermitigation.com/">Dr. Shari Schwartz</a>– Forensic Psychologist (specializing in Capital Mitigation and Victim Advocacy); Twitter: @TrialDoc; Author: “Criminal Behavior” and “Where Law and Psychology Intersect: Issues in Legal Psychology”</li> <li><a href="barebonesforensic.com">Karen L.
