THINGS MAY BE LOOKING UP FOR RUST ARMORER

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer from the RUST movie debacle, may be catching a break.  

She was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter before Baldwin's case was tossed with prejudice by the judge for prosecutorial misconduct, hiding exculpatory evidence.   It seems the prosecutor deliberately had the ammunition that mysteriously showed up filed under a different case number so that it would not necessarily be linked to the RUST cases.   

Ms. Reed, who is currently in the slammer and whose case is under appeal, has filed for a new trial based on the finding of the Baldwin case.  Normally she would not be permitted to do so while her other appeal was under way.  The New Mexico Court of Appeals granted her motion, allowing the First Judicial District Court to rule on her request for a new trial.  She may catch the same break that Baldwin caught.
