Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, Alec Baldwin

Now that a New Mexico jury has convicted “Rust” armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, even as the defendant’s attorneys called their client a “convenient fall person, a convenient scapegoat,” one question stands out among the rest: What does it all mean for actor Alec Baldwin? Legal experts believe that the Baldwin defense benefitted significantly from the trial and verdict.

Attorney and legal analyst Misty Marris rapidly reacted to the Gutierrez-Reed guilty verdict on CNN by saying it was a “very positive” development for Alec Baldwin’s case.

“This means that somebody has been held legally, criminally culpable for the death of Halyna Hutchins. He’s going to say that in his particular case it’s not foreseeable — foreseeability is the critical element here — it wasn’t foreseeable that the armorer — the person who is responsible for the safety, maintenance, and care of the firearm and the ammunition — it was not foreseeable that a real bullet would be in that gun,” Marris said.
