00:00 Weapons handler for the movie Rust, Hannah Gutierrez, is sentenced to 18 months in prison

00:05 for the death of cinematographer Helena Hutchins.

00:08 Hutchins was shot when actor Alec Baldwin was handling a gun during the film's production

00:13 in 2021.

00:14 In March, Gutierrez, 27, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for mistakenly

00:19 loading a live round into the revolver Baldwin used.

00:23 The judge tells Gutierrez as the sentence was handed down, "You alone turned a safe

00:27 weapon into a lethal weapon."

00:29 Baldwin's trial is set for July 10 for involuntary manslaughter.

00:33 The 30 Rock actor denies pulling the trigger, but the FBI and a firearms expert say the

00:38 gun would not fire without the trigger depressed.

00:41 Hutchins' death caused productions to stop using real firearms and blank ammunition,

00:46 but many are using them again because of the realistic effects they produce.

00:49 (upbeat music)
