Hannah Gutierrez, the weapons manager on the set of Alec Baldwin's film 'Rust', has been found guilty of manslaughter in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in October 2021.
A jury in New Mexico decided this, according to what was reported by the US media.
The gunsmith's conviction paves the way for a conviction also against Baldwin who, at the end of February, was indicted for manslaughter.
The trial against him will begin on July 9, despite a request from his lawyer, Alex Spiro, that it begin in mid-June.
Baldwin has always maintained that he did not pull the trigger of the gun from which he fired the shot.
If found guilty, he faces 18 months in prison.
