Alec Baldwin's 'Rust' armorer requests prison release days before actor's involuntary manslaughter trial

The dramatic dismissal of the involuntary manslaughter case against actor Alec Baldwin could mean the release of convicted “Rust” movie armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed from a New Mexico state prison, legal experts say.

Hannah Gutierrez Reed requested to be released from prison as her lawyer plans to ask for a new trial. The "Rust" armorer's team accused the prosecution of withholding evidence.

Defense attorneys for Alec Baldwin have asked Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer to scuttle the case against Baldwin ahead of what would be a high-profile trial starting in July. | Entertainment
