Hannah Gutierrez-Reed's sentenced: 'Rust' armorer gets 18 months in prison

"Rust" armorer Hannah Guitierrez-Reed sentenced Monday to 18 months in prison for the killing of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins after being found guilty of involuntary manslaughter last month.

"Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was sentenced to the maximum penalty of 18 months in prison in a Santa Fe, New Mexico, court Monday for the killing of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins after being found guilty of involuntary manslaughter last month.

The judge referred to Gutierrez-Reed's lack of remorse before she handed down the sentence.

"Your attorney had to tell the court you were remorseful," she said.

Following the sentence, she said, "You were the armorer who stood between a safe weapon and a weapon that could kill someone. [But] for you, she would be alive."

Prosecutors sought the maximum penalty of 18 months in state prison.
