Earlier this year, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the films armorer, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter on March 6.
However, on September 30, a New Mexico judgedeniedGutierrez-Reed a new trial.
Heres a breakdown of how we got here.
Whats happened in Gutierrez-Reeds case since Baldwins was dismissed?
Why was Gutierrez-Reed charged in the first place?
How does the new bullet evidence tie into all this?
Gutierrez-Reeds defense had claimed that she was being framed and that evidence had been tampered with during the investigation.
Why would this help Gutierrez-Reed?
Gutierrez-Reed was tried by the same prosecutor who tried Baldwin, with a lot of the same evidence.
This evidence could be even more important for Gutierrez-Reeds case than Baldwins, says veteran trial attorney Troy Lovell.
With Gutierrez, its directly relevant, says Lovell of potential evidence relating to the ammos origin.
If new evidence surfaces, even after a trial, the defense can take that to court.
Lovell thinks this is very good grounds to set aside the guilty verdict.
(Fiset and Lovell spoke to Vulture before the new documents came out.)
