Attorneys for Hannah Gutierrez Reed have filed an appeal with the New Mexico Court of Appeals over the verdict, a court document filed Monday shows.
Attorneys for Hannah Gutierrez Reed – the armourer on the “Rust” movie set who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to 18 months in prison for the 2021 fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins – have filed an appeal with the New Mexico Court of Appeals over the verdict, a court document filed Monday shows.
Gutierrez Reed’s attorneys are also appealing the denial of her pretrial motions, including a motion to dismiss on multiple grounds.
Gutierrez Reed, 26, was convicted in March and sentenced on April 15.
Earlier this month, her attorneys filed a motion for her release pending the appeal, indicating she is “not a danger to the community or a flight risk.”
“Ms. Gutierrez Reed is requesting to be released while she appeals, as if her appeal is successful, she will have served most or all of her sentence anyway, rendering a large part of the appeal meaningless,” the motion for release states.
CNN has reached out to special prosecutor Kari Morrissey for comment on the appeal.
