Hutchins was killed afterAlec Baldwinallegedly fired a prop gun loaded with live ammunition in her direction.
Director Joel Souza, who was also shot, survived.
Gutierrez-Reed made a tearful request for probation during the sentencing hearing.
She called Hutchins an inspiration to her and said she is beyond grateful that Souza survived.
Judge Sommer later said she did not hear Gutierrez-Reed take accountability.
In advance of Gutierrez-Reeds sentencing, prosecutors requested that she serve an 18-month sentence.
They painted her as unrepentant in court filings, citing jailhouse phone calls since her conviction.
Over the course of hertwo-week-long trial, both the prosecution and defense largely rehashed their long-held positions.
The decisions she made that day ultimately contributed to Ms. Hutchinss death.
Lewis ended his opening statement by quoting Gutierrez-Reeds own words in a police interview after the incident.
She says at the end: I just, I dont know.
I wish I would have checked it, Lewis told the jury.
And so do we.
Jason Bowles, Gutierrez-Reeds attorney, said that the set was rife with dangerous safety issues.
Just because there was a tragedy does not mean that a crime was committed.
Because shes an easy target.
Shes the least powerful person on that set.
