Alec Baldwin's 'Rust' armorer's demand for new trial 'uphill battle' following conviction: expert
Fox News
Hannah Gutierrez Reed's demand for a new trial is an "uphill battle," a legal expert told Fox News Digital. The "Rust" armorer was convicted of involuntary manslaughter March 6.
"Gutierrez Reed has an uphill battle both in her motion for a new trial and eventual appeal," former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani told Fox News Digital. "Though the judge ruled that the jurors have to be unanimous on the manslaughter charge (there were two), they did not have to be unanimous on how the live rounds got on set.
"That is generally a correct statement of the law," he added. "The verdict has to be unanimous, but not how the jurors get there."
