The armorer’s lawyers failed to convince the judge that the same evidence dispute that led her to toss the actor’s manslaughter charge had deprived their client of a fair trial.

The film's cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, died when a prop gun went off on the set during production in 2021

Alec Baldwin, lead actor and co-producer on "Rust," was pointing a gun at cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during a rehearsal when it went off, killing her and wounding director Joel Souza.

A judge is planning to hear arguments in court Thursday over whether to dismiss a criminal conviction against a movie armorer in the shooting death of a cinematographer by actor Alec Baldwin.

The Rust armourer convicted of involuntary manslaughter for her role in the fatal on-set shooting has had her motion for a new trial dismissed. On Monday, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer ruled against a request for Hannah Gutierrez-Reed to receive a new trial or case dismissal after the armourer was convicted of involuntary manslaughter this year.

Defendant has not established that this evidence undermines confidence in the verdict,” judge wrote, denying request from Hannah Gutierrez-Reed
