<p>A jury in New Mexico found "Rust" armourer Hannah Gutierrez guilty of involuntary&nbsp;manslaughter&nbsp;on Wednesday.</p>

<p>Following 10 days of testimony, the trial over Hollywood's first fatal shooting on set in nearly three decades has concluded. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The trial centred on whether Gutierrez, who, as per Reuters, was a relatively inexperienced armourer, endangered crew and cast members by mishandling firearms on the low-budget production set in New Mexico.</p>

<h2><strong>The verdict</strong></h2>

<p>Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer ordered Gutierrez's immediate custody. The armourer faces a potential sentence of up to 18 months in state prison.</p>

<p>The jury deliberated for just three hours before finding her guilty of involuntary&nbsp;manslaughter. However, they acquitted&nbsp;Gutierrez of a second charge related to evidence tampering.</p>

<p>As deputies escorted her from the courtroom, Gutierrez reassured her distressed mother, saying, "I'll be okay."&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the closing statement, prosecutor Kari Morrissey characterised the case as a series of safety failures leading to a tragic outcome.</p>

A jury in New Mexico found "Rust" armourer Hannah Gutierrez guilty of involuntary manslaughter on Wednesday. Following 10 days of testimony, the trial over Hollywood's first fatal shooting on set in nearly three decades has concluded. The trial centred on whether Gutierrez, who, as per Reuters, was a relatively inexperienced armourer, endangered crew and cast members by mishandling firearms on the low-budget production set in New Mexico. The verdict Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer ordered Gutierrez's immediate custody. The armourer faces a potential sentence of up to 18 months in state prison. The jury deliberated for just three hours before finding her guilty of involuntary manslaughter. However, they acquitted Gutierrez of a second charge related to evidence tampering.
