CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

Variety reports:

Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the armorer on the ill-fated Western film “Rust,” was convicted on Wednesday of involuntary manslaughter in the death of the film’s cinematographer.

Jurors returned a verdict after less than three hours of deliberations on Wednesday afternoon, following two weeks of testimony about safety lapses on set. Gutierrez Reed was acquitted of a separate charge of tampering with evidence. She faces up to 18 months in prison at sentencing.

Following the verdict, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer ordered Gutierrez Reed remanded into custody. Alec Baldwin is set to face his own manslaughter trial in July.
