Alec Baldwin ‘Rust’ shooting trial: Experts warn armorer’s maximum sentence is ominous sign for actor
Fox News
Alec Baldwin's "Rust" armorer receiving a maximum sentence is "bad news" for the actor, an expert told Fox News Digital. Hannah Gutierrez Reed was sentenced Monday.
The actor will appear in a New Mexico courtroom on July 9 for his own trial. Baldwin was a producer for the film as well as the lead actor. Gutierrez Reed's sentencing is an ominous sign of what's to come for the "30 Rock" star, legal experts told Fox News Digital.
"This is bad news for Alec Baldwin and shows the court is taking this fatal shooting seriously and that it’s not just for show, as his defenders claim," Los Angeles personal injury attorney Miguel Custodio, co-founder of Custodio and Dubey LLP, told Fox News Digital. "A plea deal would be the best strategy for him right now, considering [Monday's] sentencing and the information the prosecution has about the chaos on the set and Baldwin’s failure to do anything about it. But I don’t see that happening."
