The armorer on the set of Rust was sentenced to 18 months in prison. Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was convicted of involuntary manslaughter charges in the shooting death of Halyna Hutchins.

Though Alec Baldwin, 66, pulled the trigger, a jury found Gutierrez-Reed had erroneously loaded a live round into a revolver he was using on the Santa Fe, New Mexico, movie set.
Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer addressed phone calls Gutierrez-Reed made from jail, citing comments she made to family and friends as evidence she had failed to take accountability.
“In your allocution you said you were sorry but not … sorry for what you did,” Marlowe Sommer said. “It was your attorney that had to tell the court that you were remorseful.
“The word remorse: a deep regret coming from a sense of guilt for past wrongs,” she continued. “That’s not you.”
She was sentenced in part for lacking remorse? You have to look sorry enough now? Too subjective?
She has been in custody since March 6, when she was convicted.

In a taped phone call from prison, she called jurors, “a$$holes and idiots”. She loaded the gun but apparently couldn’t tell live ammo from blanks. Because of her incompetence, a woman is dead. She should have gotten 10 years at least. The ironic part is, now being a convicted felon, she will no longer be allowed to work with guns or have a gun. Others around her should consider themselves lucky.
Ah DEI means that equality counts more than merit. America is fortunate that such people are entrusted with such responsibilities rather than people who are merely competent. I mean what kind of country would you have if you depended on merit, education, talent, education, experience rather than those values that progressives celebrate?
