It was a heartbreaking scene, no matter how you sided: Burly deputies whisking 26-year-old Hannah Gutierrez-Reed off to the adjoining New Mexico jail after a jury declared the “Rust” armorer guilty of involuntary manslaughter. She barely flinched.

Her mother, sitting directly over her right shoulder, shuddered and sobbed; at the back of the room, her father, a global trick-shooting legend who trained her from childhood to wrangle Hollywood’s guns, threw his famously fast hands into the air. Before anyone could even begin to process the judge’s order for immediate remand, Gutierrez-Reed was removing her gold chain necklace, standing up and disappearing behind a heavy self-closing door.

    I think the best solution is to find Baldwin guilty of involuntary manslaughter but limit his punishment to a fine and maybe some community service. This should satisfy everyone, as justice will not be served by sending a 65-year-old with seven small children behind bars, even for “only” 18 months.
