"Rust" armorer wants conviction tossed in wake of dropping of Baldwin charges

The armorer on Alec Baldwin film "Rust" filed Tuesday to have her conviction for involuntary manslaughter overturned, days after the Hollywood star's own trial over a fatal on-set shooting collapsed due to withheld evidence.

Baldwin was holding a revolver during a rehearsal for the low-budget Western in October 2021 when a live round was fired, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding the film's director.

Hannah Gutierrez, as the film's armorer, was responsible for providing dummy and blank rounds to the movie set.
