Lawyer for ‘Rust’ armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed claims she was ‘framed’

An attorney for the armorer on the set of “Rust” said that his client is being “framed” for the tragic death that occurred when Alec Baldwin shot the film’s cinematographer.

The lawyer for Hannah Gutierrez-Reed insisted on Wednesday that “sabotage” and a “tampered” crime scene were evidence of the frame job for the shooting last month on the New Mexico film set.

The statement came a day after Gutierrez-Reed met with Santa Fe County Deputy Sheriffs about the double shooting. The cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, was killed and director Joel Souza injured when Baldwin fired a “hot” prop gun that was supposed to be loaded with blanks.

“We are asking for a full and complete investigation of all of the facts, including the live rounds themselves, how they ended up in the ‘dummies’ box, and who put them in there,” attorney Jason Bowles said.

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed's attorney claims the "Rust" armorer was framed. Hannah Gutierrez-Reed’s attorney claims the “Rust” armorer was framed. TikTok The lawyer said his client shared new “critical” information with local sheriffs as they await findings from the FBI and prosecutors.

“We are convinced that this was sabotage and Hannah is being framed. We believe that the scene was tampered with as well before the police arrived,” Bowles said, without providing any details to back up his claim.

Bowels had previously tied his theory to worker discontent on the set of the Western picture, as camera crew members organized a walkout to protest poor working conditions hours before the accident.

“I believe that somebody who would do that would want to sabotage the set, want to prove a point, want to say that they’re disgruntled, they’re unhappy,” he told NBC’s “Today” show last week.

The director who handed Arec Barwin the gun with the statement “cold gun” is completely innocent.

David Halls told Alec Baldwin he was handling a “cold gun” before the shot, and was fired from a previous production gig over another firearm incident.

What a complete bunch of crap.

She has zero business being an armorer.

There is one possibility that would exonerate her from any blame. She did do her job properly and someone put a live round or rounds in after she had set the gun up.

According to everything that has been published (that I’m aware of) there are only two people who could have done that.

Do I think that happened? I seriously doubt it.

I posted this on another thread loong ago on Oct. 23rd. On Fox on Judge Jeannine’s show, Gregg Jarrett (lawyer) said the exact same thing (a disgruntled union employee loaded live cartridge in gun for revenge). As I’m the only one who posted this slant on what might have happened, I wonder if Jarrett read my comment. Here’s what I said:

“Were the Union guys, some of whom can be real thugs in their own right, (mafia-like) really PO’d at Alec Baldwin who is a big pig (his daughter was the little pig, remember), enough so as to set him up?

Could one of his disgruntled union employees have loaded a live bullet into the chamber of the gun hoping for an incident, to prove how Baldwin wasn’t paying enough attention to safety? Or loaded a live bullet in the gun just for revenge against Baldwin as he is such a jerk?”

I also base this on her direct negative personal actions on her immediate prior film and her well-documented gun negligence as armorer on that film.

It's easy to "frame" incompetent people ...

It's much harder with those who are actually doing their jobs right ...

I don’t disagree with you that she probably shouldn’t be an armorer. Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply that.

Just throwing out the one (and only) possible circumstance that would absolve her of responsibility.

I give that possibility about the same odds as Covid killing a child. 0.001%

Or another one. According to the 911 call. It wasn't her job and she didn't hand the gun off. Supervisor said the AD was responsible and was the person they went to before and after it was used

It’s ridiculous, but it’s the best defense he could come up with with.

Hall is one of the two I was alluding to.

I have listened to more than one director opine on this incident and say that it is common for the armorer to hand off the guns to the AD who then hands it to the actor. Which does not absolve the armorer even if the AD does not check the gun. They both carry equal responsibility.

I don’t suppose they checked the shell casing for fingerprints, did they? Or was everything contaminated after the scene, on purpose?
