    Everyone who's claiming she's a scapegoat wants to make this political because of Baldwin. She was the armorer, and brought live rounds to a movie set. I'm not sure how much more wrong you can be.
  • @user-wt9it5zz2q
    Ms. Gutierrez brought live rounds to a movie set and then allowed crew members to use the guns and live ammo 'for fun', during breaks in filming. Those facts alone, put her in prison and she should be there a lot longer than 18 months.

    She's not a scapegoat, Alec Baldwin is not walking, he still has an involuntary manslaughter trial coming up in July. Negligence is not the same as accidental. Even in firearms handling and training there's a difference between a 'negligent discharge' and an 'accidental discharge' of a firearm.
  • @user-er3ri6sc3j
    It's only 18 months maximum. I know someone did 7 years state time after an undercover sting operation.
  • @zombygunslinger
    Her and Baldwin share blame. Baldwin was a producer who was involved in hiring her, the loose non-union safety culture on set, and the guy who pulled the trigger. I do agree that this doesn't require new guidelines, it requires basic responsibility in following them.
  • @danaf3385
    Who hired her in the first place. She was not experienced.
  • So the Producers who hired her do they get charged? They put a complete amateur in charge.
  • @yutakago1736
    She deserve 18 years in prison but only sentenced to 18 months.
  • @fakshen1973
    She wasn't thrown under the bus. The pistol was being used as a prop. The actor was meant to point the pistol at the camera and pull the trigger. Under no circumstance was there to be a live round in the gun being used as a prop. That's why she was there. That's why these weapons were under her charge and she was being paid. I don't blame the actor. Baldwin was just as much the victim as the people injured and killed. As far as Baldwin as the producer, sue him for millions.
  • @mc6jumper891
    How does someone become a "gun expert" who wouldn't check it before it's pointed at a person, trigger pulled? Must be DEI officer at the Studios.
  • @Josh-il4sw
    Where was all of this selective outrage towards the actor that accidentally killed Brandon Lee on the set of The Crow back in 93?? You all saying that about Akec is simply because of politics.
  • @marcusdolby1
    How could anyone blame Baldwin?? I am not a fan of his but how could he know the gun had real bullets in it?
  • @rebelcave8556
    that's Hanah Guteerezz .. she killed Helena Hutchen
  • Baldwin should have checked the gun before use how ever one of the question that needs to be asked is who handled the gun and loaded it before baldwin received it and why was there live ammo on the set
