Hannah Gutierrez-Reed will remain behind bars, according to a decision filed by the judge overseeing the “Rust” movie armorer's case on Monday. Judge Sommer ruled that Reed’s conviction still holds even though the judge previously determined that the prosecution suppressed evidence in the involuntary manslaughter case against “Rust” star and producer Alec Baldwin. For this reason, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed Baldwin's case, saying New Mexico prosecutors failed to disclose the evidence — a violation of the Brady Law. The sanction of dismissal is the only warranted remedy,” Sommer said of her decision at the time. Morrissey has since asked the judge to reconsider dismissing the case against Baldwin.
