“The Last” armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed called the jurors who convicted her of manslaughter “stupid” and “shitholes” in a recorded prison phone conversation, according to a recent filing. He complained that the deliberations took only two hours. Prosecutor.
Gutierrez-Reed's crude comments were among those made public by prosecutors ahead of her sentencing Monday. Gutierrez-Reid also said she wants Alec Baldwin, the gunman who fired the fatal shot on a 2021 movie set, to go to prison, adding that even if a subpoena is issued, he won't face any future criminal trials. He said he did not intend to testify.
Prosecutors Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis say these comments show why Gutierrez-Reed should not receive conditional release, which is what her lawyers are seeking. are doing.
Prosecutors are seeking a maximum sentence of 18 months in prison. They said in her filing that conversations between Ms. Gutierrez-Reed and her mother, her boyfriend, and her attorney's paralegal ensured that she “accepted full and full responsibility for her own actions.” “It shows that they have not fully accepted it,” he wrote.
Gutierrez-Reed's nearly two-week criminal trial centered on her role on the set of the movie “The Last” in October 2021. Baldwin raised a prop gun and fired live ammunition, killing the film's cinematographer, Halina Hutchins. Manager Joel Souza was also injured by the bullet.
“Hannah also wants Alec Baldwin to go to prison,” prosecutors wrote. Gutierrez-Reed said she would not appear if subpoenaed for Baldwin's trial. “If Mr. Baldwin does not appear, he should not be subpoenaed,” the filing states. has been done.
Gutierrez-Reed asked the defense team to have Hutchins' widow and son speak on her behalf at the sentencing, according to the filing. She also complained that her shooting had a negative impact on her own life and modeling career, but she added, “At no time did she express her sincere remorse.'' “No,” her filing states.
Prosecutors did not properly test the “dummy” bullets Gutierrez-Reid provided on set, and did not identify rounds that were later determined to be live rounds in one actor's gun belt and in Alec Baldwin's revolver. He claimed that he brought live ammunition to the set.
The filing also notes that Gutierrez-Reed has a separate felony pending for allegedly hiding a firearm from a New Mexico bar bouncer and sneaking into the venue. Her filing states: “After successfully evading bar security, she entered the bathroom and took a selfie that said, 'They searched my wallet, but they didn't touch my butt cheeks.' A video was shot.'' Wow, Wow, Wow.”
When asked for comment on the jail summons prosecutors announced, defense attorney Jason Bowles said Saturday: “We'll probably file a response tomorrow.”
According to prosecutors' filings, phone calls to the jail included statements from other inmates saying things like, “I can't believe they just threw your little white ass in here for nothing.” And Gutierrez-Reed likes tap water and hard prison beds, and thinks “cat food isn't so bad.”
Gutierrez-Reed also spoke about the witnesses, saying they lied and “didn't have to wave the dummies all the time,” the filing said.
“Hannah complains about first assistant director Dave Halls and how he 'punished her to save his own ass' and thinks the producers should go to jail.” It is stated in the submitted documents.
In emotional trial testimony, Halls said he should have inspected the gun more thoroughly and acknowledged that he “inappropriately inspected the firearm.”
Halls, who also served as the film's safety coordinator, pleaded no contest last year to negligent use of a deadly weapon and was sentenced to six months of unsupervised probation as part of a plea deal.
Baldwin's defense team asked for the manslaughter charges against Baldwin to be dismissed out of concern that the testimony would distract from exculpatory evidence and witnesses and put him at an “unfair disadvantage” in grand jury proceedings. .
Prosecutors offered Baldwin a “very favorable plea deal” similar to the one David Halls got, but Baldwin accepted the deal and plans to produce a documentary that includes interviews from witnesses in the case. After learning of this, he said he withdrew the proposal.
Mr. Baldwin is scheduled to go on trial in July.
