What Happens to Rust Armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed Now?
Briefly

Following the dismissal of Alec Baldwin's manslaughter case, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed's defense has claimed newly discovered evidence could lead to her conviction being overturned. Key prosecutors allegedly withheld critical firearms evidence that may question the validity of Gutierrez-Reed’s previous involuntary manslaughter conviction.
New evidence introduced by Baldwin's legal team indicates that a former police officer, Troy Teske, provided live rounds to authorities that could be linked to the Rust shooting. This raises serious doubts about Gutierrez-Reed’s guilt, prompting her legal team to seek a dismissal or new trial.
The implications of Baldwin's 'cover-up' allegations and the revelation regarding the handling of evidence have significant consequences for Gutierrez-Reed's appeal, opening pathways to challenge the integrity of her conviction. Her attorneys are pushing to have her conviction thrown out based on withheld evidence.
Comments made during the recent hearing by the lead investigator and special prosecutor suggest there was an effort to conceal evidence related to the Rust incident. This brings into question not only the fairness of Gutierrez-Reed’s trial but the entire process surrounding the original investigation.
